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

4.5

I'm impressed by how thorough this book is on how to make costumes, the instructions for which can also be used for making clothing in general. I'll probably still need to watch videos on some of the techniques, but overall the descriptions and accompanying images are clear. The book provides patterns and instructions for basic pieces that can be combined and altered to create the most common costumes/cosplays, along with details for making those alterations. I can't overemphasize the thoroughness of the topic coverage. I'll definitely be referencing this book again in the future.
