Stretch vinyl<\/a>, shiny PVC<\/a>, and faux leather<\/a> fabrics have that ‘animated \/ comic’ type of look that lend itself to Cosplay. We love some of the awesome creations that people have made and worn to Cosplay conventions.<\/p>\n

MJTrends hasn’t formally attended Cosplay conventions as a vendor (it’s on our short list of things to do), but we do have staff members who love dressing up and attending events. It’s a fun way to show off your sewing prowess and creativity as well as meet up with other like minded crafters.<\/p>\n

There’s really nothing else like it. You’ll meet costumers who take the genre to a whole new level, professional Cosplayers who travel the world attending events, participate in contests, and get insider knowledge on the latest news and updates in comic books and video games.<\/p>\n

In case you were wondering how you can get involved, below is a list of upcoming conventions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
