The Hero's Closet: Sewing for Cosplay and Costuming by Gillian Conahan

5.0

I've flipped through a bunch of costuming books that assumed a ton of knowledge on the reader's part. This book approached the topic as if the reader had a basic level of knowledge but needed a brush up on vocabulary and a boost on techniques. Which is exactly what I needed! It also has a gallery of different sleeve, skirt, dress, and pant types in the back and a couple of basic projects that can serve as foundations for a variety of costumes. Although this was originally borrowed from the library, I went out and bought myself a copy as soon as I got done looking through the one I borrowed.
