Are you interested in making your own cosplay costume but don’t know where to begin?
The American Sewing Expo, coming to Novi’s Suburban Collection Showplace Sept. 26-28, is featuring a special emphasis on costuming this year, with a costume fashion show, costume contest and several workshops focusing on costume creation.
Topics for the latter include “The Power of Spandex,” “Intro to Cosplay Sewing” and “Found-Item Cosplay.” Many sessions are repeated over the course of the weekend. Got a specific question? Visit the Social Media Lounge to meet costume experts and ask.
Attendees are encouraged to wear their costumes any time during the weekend.
And this being a sewing expo, there are several other seminars and workshops that will translate to costuming.
Prices vary depending on how many seminars you want to attend. Tickets can be bought a la carte or in discounted packages. Download the registration brochure with all the information at the show’s website.

We're totally stoked about this event!

It looks like there'll be a complete fiberglass and brass C-3PO in attendance at the astromech tables for anyone interested in such a project.

It's going to be great fun, I think! It's the second one and they're still small so it's a great time to get involved. The guy in charge is doing a lot of fundraising and charity work, which I think is an awesome thing. And he's very stoked about comics and cosplay.
