About me
I’m Valeria, and I make costumes for conventions. I sew, bead and paint everything myself, and I write up each build so you can follow along.
I started with one pair of wings and a lot of mistakes. Now I post a build note every week, sell my patterns and planners, and answer your questions about materials.
