Exeperienced Prop/Costume makers, a question for you

[Egon Spengler]

I've been making costumes for a while now and have created some pretty good stuff but I want to take it to the next level.

What advice would you give someone wanting to get into prop and costume making? (No "theres no money in it" answers please.)

What tools and materials should one work/practice with?

What are the essentials?

Thanks

Do you have pictures of some of your costumes? This way people can gauge what level you're at. Just a suggestion.
