I skipped the fairs this year and focused more on comic cons, which is more my market anyway. I am primarily a photographer with kitty cosplay being my claim to fame and cons are the perfect venue to sell my prints (I photograph people as well.) I also do well on snarky heat press vinyl underpants, and cosplay baby…

They were sewn from polar fleece, really quick to make. Agreed about having to charge a huge amount for knit (I knit very slowly).

Even today if you have drive a car that is pre 69 you can’t be ticketed for not wearing a safety belt if they were not originally available and if it hasn’t been retrofitted. (I will be…
