Interests
From a young age, I was told that I was a very creative person and I've come to realise this through my love of making. I enjoy cosplaying as I get to dedicate time to the craft of costume making and then being able to dress as and become the character. It's fun to become someone else for some time.
Through this hobby, I've advanced my sewing skills and expanded my thinking field when it comes to different materials I can use to make a costume, outside of fabric.
