Battlefront Darktrooper ⭐️ ⠀
⠀
We love the original Star Wars Battlefront games - and still enjoy playing instant action games on the weekends. ⠀
⠀
Darktroopers were one of my favourite classes to play, and they look cool too. ⠀
⠀
It is so much fun to wear unique armour from a video game we love so much. ⠀
⠀
What’s your favourite class to play in Star Wars Battlefront? ⭐️

The Chronicles of Riddick ⭐️⠀
⠀
#FallForCostume 2019 Instagram challenge hosted by @redthreaded Day 31 - Endings ⠀
⠀
As I’m sure most costumers can relate, I have a few costume projects that have been put aside for one reason or another, waiting to be finished someday. ⠀
⠀
This Riddick costume is an odd one out from my stash, in that I’m pretty certain I’ll never finish it. ⠀
⠀
I got this far before I ran out of time for DragonCon 2009 - made the shirt, arm guards and shoulder harness, and finished it off with store-bought boots, pants and belt. ⠀
⠀
The reason this will never get finished? We now own a real Vin Diesel screen used Riddick costume! Doesn’t seem much point to keep sewing the rest of this version, when it could never compare to the real one we have ⭐️

Stormtrooper TK944 ⭐️⠀
⠀
#FallForCostume 2019 Instagram challenge hosted by @redthreaded Day 30 - Beginnings ⠀
⠀
The beginning of our love of costumes - Matt’s first costume, Star Wars stormtrooper armour. ⠀
⠀
He bought it from the US in 2001, and joined the @official501st that same year. ⠀
⠀
A few years later, I made my first costume, a Jedi Knight. We soon found each other through our shared love of Star Wars, collecting, and costuming. ⠀
⠀
Passions we still share to this day, after 12 years of marriage and still going strong ❤️

Necromongers 🖤⠀
⠀
#FallForCostume 2019 Instagram challenge hosted by @redthreaded Day 29 - Spooky ⠀
⠀
The ‘spookiest’ costumes we own - screen used Necromonger captain and convert costumes from The Chronicles Of Riddick. ⠀
⠀
We bought these from @prop_store back in 2005, our first ‘couple cosplay’ - it was so exciting to own costumes from the first film we ever saw together. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
I’ve worn my Necromonger convert costume several times, at different conventions around the world - but Matt’s captain costume won’t fit in a suitcase, so we wear them together at local conventions 🖤

Padme’ Amidala on Naboo 💛💗💜 ⠀
⠀
#FallForCostume 2019 Instagram challenge hosted by @redthreaded Day 28 - Romantic ⠀
⠀
In 2006 Matt and I traveled across the world to visit the Star Wars AOTC filming location in Italy. ⠀
⠀
Two weeks before the trip I had the crazy idea to make Padme’s lake dress, with my very basic sewing skills. ⠀
⠀
No pattern, drafted the dress with bedsheets wrapped around me, and used fabric paint... but I think it worked out okay. ⠀
⠀
The best part - Matt surprised me by proposing in the spot Anakin and Padme’ were married 💕

Batman and the Joker 🃏⠀
⠀
#FallForCostume 2019 Instagram challenge hosted by @redthreaded Day 27 - Purple⠀
⠀
I made our Harley Quinn and Joker costumes for @armageddonexponz Auckland 2007, as HQ co-creator Bruce Timm was a guest. ⠀
⠀
A good friend wore his Batman costume that year as well, so we got some fun group photos. ⠀
⠀
Matt’s costume was inspired by the animated series, with the Joker voiced by Mark Hamill - this was a year before ‘The Dark Knight’ film was released, so Joker costumes weren’t as common back then 🃏

Come back with your shield or on it. ⠀
⠀
#FallForCostume 2019 Instagram challenge hosted by @redthreaded Day 26 - Cold⠀
⠀
Perhaps not the coldest to wear, but the first costume I think of - my Queen Gorgo ‘farewell’ dress. ⠀
⠀
I made this for DragonCon 2011 - August is the middle of winter here, and this dress is all about draped fabric.... ⠀
⠀
Which meant spending many hours pretty much naked in my sewing room, while I draped fabric around myself, sewing it in place, trying it on again... ⠀
⠀
I had the curtains and doors closed, the heater blasting on high, and it was still really cold! Worth it though - that dress fit like a glove ⭐️

Happy 16th Birthday @wicked_musical 💚 ⠀
⠀
So happy I got to see Wicked 3 times with friends and family when it toured NZ in 2013. ⠀
⠀
Saw the show, bought the merch, met the cast - and loved it all. ⠀
⠀
Hope it will return here again someday, but for today I’ll be blasting the soundtrack and singing along. ⠀
⠀
Happy Birthday Wicked! Wishing you many more wonderful years 💚
