So since most of us are stuck at home most of the day now, what is everyone doing to take up their time in terms of cosplay, what you're watching/playing, or any other geeky things that you're doing.

I'm currently working on making cosplay and watching anime while I pin/take a meal break.

I'm working on:
A hero-style body suit (Ya Ya Han's McCall Pattern)
Renge from Ouran High School Host Club
Elsa from Frozen
Two decora skirts (one pastel, one galaxy)
a dress-tie with "The Incredibles" fabric for the hubby.
A new chemise for Ren Faire

As far as anime:
FMA Brohood (3rd time)
Kono Oto Tomare!
Black Clover
Baruto
Food Wars!
Fruits Basket

As I get done and start new piece I'll tell you how it's going. My husband says no more until one is done, I got rug burn from all the cutting. xd

Well, thanks to all the Trumpbux I got, I bought a stack of anime I needed to watch/finish watching, picked up a copy of Cactpot Party(the FF XIV board game), got my Concellation staff badge and shirt, and upgraded Mayuyu(my PC, bought as a refurb a few months ago)into a gaming monster(adding a newer monitor, raising the amount of RAM to 28gb, and adding a 4GB video card, along with a better power supply)

Hopefully, Nekocon will still be going on in the fall. Right now, it's still kind of wait and see on that.

Currently Working on:
Elsa
Dress-Tie
Chemise
Mario and Peach Costumes (Mostly done already)

And
Starting a Rococo style dress upper piece (think more lolita/Steampunk).

Anime:
Hasn't changed as most of them are still premiering or are very long series.

Lately I have been checking out Cosplay Apps for my phone. I usually change the wallpaper on my phone every few days with either a cosplayer photo or an anime character photo. Their are some Cosplayer Social Apps to check out but not many.

Also I have been binge watching the RWBY, Sailor Moon, and the Pokemon XY series (Which is my favorite season). I'm currently watching for the first time the Pokemon Sun / Moon series. It's different than I expected.

I recently bought the movies Star Wars - The Rise of Skywalker and Frozen II. I can't wait to see people cosplaying the characters from both movies.

Convention wise things are on hold for me. I hope that Youmacon will happen in Detroit this year. I want to try out my new camera and take more photos of cosplayers.

As far as apps go I've used Cosplanner (but I wish they would update some features to make it a little more friendly) and Amino.

Those two Apps I'm familiar with. If you find more let me know. Thanks

Finish building Crescent Rose.

I've been studying, planning, and researching it's construction for the better part of 3 to 4 years. Aside from it being able to transform I also wanted it to be foldable.

Sweet.

I found out that after editing a pattern I have room for two or three costume pieces on an oversize piece of fabric (a little nicer one) I got for $35. It was like twelve yards.

Yeah. I'm just glad a pattern that needed 8 1/2 and another one needing 10 1/2 yards can be done with one batch. I thought I'd have to pick and chose, but I got done with one and thought I'd at least check.

I wont have enough for the puffy sleeves, but it'll make a nice vest dress for ren fair.

So your niece wants you to "Flip" for her. Let us know how that works out. In High School as part of gym class we did Gymnastics. I did pretty good. Not now though.

As this year is coming to a close I've seen on Instagram what many of our Cosplayers have been busy with. The times that we are in has given some cosplayers a chance to update their Cosplay outfits. Also with cons being canceled some have had photoshoots done outside at various locations. As for me I'm going to do my best to keep this Guild going and think about what Cosplay outfits that I want to make. It's been many years since I have created an outfit.

I'm wondering what plans you have for the future and what you have done this year.
