Welcome Beings of All Sorts

Welcome beings of all sorts! Somehow, you have found this blog. :D I congratulate you on that whether it was through success or failure! My name is Madeleine Schmuch aka MadDog and I am an amateur cosplayer. I will also be your guide here. This blog came to be because I needed to organize my cosplays and constantly work on them so that I would finish them. I thought that if I had a commitment to post I would work more often and would not forget important things. This blog started off as being called "MadDog's Sewing" but has since then turned into a guide to cosplay and has taken on the new name "MadDog's Wicked Guide to Wicked Cosplay." That being said, I'm terrible with names. This blog should really be called "MadDog's Tips That She's Found to be Useful and is now Sharing on a Blog in Hopes That They Might Help Somebody Else in Their Efforts to Cosplay." That name fits this blog much better however, it was a little bit too long. Moving on, I've added new sections to make this blog more informative but they are almost all ongoing sections. (If you need information on certain things now, please shoot me an email. Email: wickedcosplay@yahoo.com) Whether you just want to follow my projects or learn how to start cosplaying, I'm hoping that this blog will be a help. MadDog out! :)

How to Make Patches (When You are in a Fix)

Today I worked more on my Seras Victoria (I figured I should as Anime Boston is in a little more than a week--haha, I'm doomed) and I thought I 'd showed you how to make patches with only a few materials (and no talent for embroidery). It's really quite simple. The first thing you have to do is find a scrap of fabric a little bigger than the patch you would like to make. Then, draw an outline of the patch onto the fabric. After that you want to cut the fabric out but make sure to leave a little extra around the edges and iron that down (on the outline) for a smooth edge. Then all you have to do is paint the design you want on to the other side of the patch and hand stitch it to the whatever garment you want to put it on. More Seras soon. MadDog out!
