Not long after that, the volunteer coordinator came up with a really fun idea to make a Dryad Quest for patrons to participate in. I dived in head first to help out with that since I had already planned on making a dryad character! I offered to design the costumes for all of the dryads and help them make decisions when planning their costuming.

“…I would finish up a costume during the day, and film two of them later that evening once my partner was off of work.”

“Approximately 5 hours into editing Adobe Rush crashed on me … this time I could not open the video. I could see the video … but the video would not open.”

I knew that I would not be going anywhere for Halloween in 2020, However an idea bubbled up in my mind…"Teapot cosplay" … I had to make it a reality.

When determining the length I saw that I should multiply my final length by three to account for shrinkage while braiding. I don't know what happened but that was a BIG mistake…

I went to wear it one day and found myself putting it back for that reason and decided to do something about it right then. I have no idea what I originally had planned for that day, but my new ✨spontaneous✨ plan was fixing that top!

However, there are ways to get high quality fabric at very low cost. Sometimes even for free! Using second-hand fabric can be a great option for getting large quantities of fabric for low cost.

The beautiful thing about my projects is that I get to decided when they're "complete." Sometimes I let a project be a forever work in progress that I can continue to add on to! This is one of those projects <3
