Another episode of CosPod is out! We celebrate our 250th episode by tackling a topic long in the making: the impact of social media on cosplay. We chat with Lex Lunar, a video guru on TikTok with over 4.6 million likes, about how cosplay has changed with the rise of social networks. It was a wonderful discussion and we hope you all enjoy the discussion.

In ‘Seams Easy’ we introduce a new tutorial with 6 different ways to finish your cosplay seams. Closing off your seams is a great way to ensure longevity to your cosplay and helps create a clean look on the outside. This tutorial is meant for all and requires no specialty tools! Any standard sewing machine with a straight and zig-zag stitch will do, or you can do these by hand.
Our very first episode of CosPod released on January 14th, 2012. It was fitting to round off the end of Season 10, and roll into #11 by releasing the newest episode today. Check it out on our website, your favorite podcasting feed, or on YouTube.
Episode 241 is now live on all podcasting platforms and through our direct feed. Val takes a look at the growing trend of “make your own pattern” sites that have become more popular with cosplay as of late. The concept is you design your pattern and print it to a set size – some sites allow you a custom fit while others provide the standard sizing system for men & women.
This is not a sponsored episode. Val, the very anti-commercial pattern seamstress, was genuinely curious about these websites and wanted to see if they were as great as the hype made them to be. She tested 8 different sites by designing patterns, buying them, assembling, and then creating mockups. We picked out 2 of the best sites to review that we felt would be of the most benefit to cosplayers. We hope you find the information helpful in your next costume adventure!
