The CosPod microphone logo in green with the words "Going Live" at the top in light blue. Text is on a white background with light grey icons.
We're live right now! Join us in the convo and the devastation as we walk though making a garment from an AI generated sewing pattern. π
A green block with white text stating: "Next live recording Saturday! 1PM Central." With a photo of a cat meme looking as if they are screaming and crying.
Our next episode recording will be this Saturday at 1PM Central!
If you stuck around for the last Aftersession, you know what's coming.
Pain. Lots of mental pain. π
Watch us lose brain cells over an AI generated sewing pattern.
This next episode is already a doozy.
7.95 hours of video and audio recorded so far over the course of several weekends, with more to go.
Time to get ready for a month of editing... π

AI is certainly not there yet. In a future episode we are planning to show the deceptive practices of these listings, as well as provide insight on how to transform a bad pattern into something functional. We hope it will be a helpful learning moment!
We are recording a bit early this month! Check us out today at 1pm Central. We're revisiting the topic of 'Cosplay AyEye'. Don't miss it! www.youtube.com/user/cospodc...
Blue graphics on a light blue background with the Cosplay Repair and CSSN logos. Text reads: Cosplay Repair partners with CSSN Cosplayer Survivor Support Network. Any tips received at the booth during Anime Frontier 2025 will be donated to CSSN! December 12-14, 2025. Fort Worth Convention Center. 56 likes including roseofbattle, 4 comments, 13 reshares, 11 story posts. Post by ashweezcosplay: This year, in lieu of a photo opp, the Cosplay Repair booth at @/animefrontiertx is partnering with Cosplayer Survivor Support Network (CSSN)!
Text reads: CSSN is an inclusive page for members of the cosplay community who are survivors of harassment, trauma, sexual assault, or abuse to find support and comfort. Their website contains resources such as national hotline links and guides on how to best support your loved ones. CSSN's "Convention Report Cards" track conventions' harassment policies on their respective websites, giving them grades on whether they have any available, if it's easy to find, and how thorough said policies are. New paragraph. Cosplay Repair is proud to partner with this organization that works to make sure everyone can feel safe and included. All tips to the repair booth will be donated to CSSN. We will also have a QR code to their website and brochures available while supplies last for additional reading. New paragraph. Learn more at https://cosplayer-ssn.org/index.php or the link in my bio! Posted November 14 2025.
Courtesy of @ashweezcosplay.com on IG: make sure to stop by the Cosplay Repair booth at Anime Frontier TOMORROW!
They've graciously offered to forward their tip jar to CSSN this year, along with printing our brand new trifold. Grab a copy and say hi to the hardworking folks at Cosplay Repair!
Text: Happy Holidays & Early Happy New Year See You in 2026! Text is written in white and blue on a red textured background, surrounded by white speckles.

Anime Impulse Dallas: Is It Worth It?
CosPod Episode 309: The One with the Haunted House. Cospod logo in orange and white on a black and grey background for Halloween.
Whoops! Forgot to share here. Our Halloween episode is up!
You can check it out on virtually any podcasting platform, or on YouTube, which might be the better option. That way you can watch our descent into crafting hell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0dD...
FYI to our fellow podcasters that use YouTube! If you don't want YouTube messing with your videos, here's how to disable the new "feature" that we didn't ask for:

It's amazing what you can/can not accomplish in an hour. πβ
Thanks to those that dropped in on our silly Halloween task. Here are the results! If you take on the challenge, share your pics with us. We'd love to see what you all come up with.
The Halloween Episode will be out this Saturday. π¦

Our annual Halloween episode recording will be this Saturday at 1PM Central! Where Amber came up with the idea to make a tabletop haunted house in an hour. π It's going to be a chaotic mess of fun. Join in and share your creations!
We're surprised you haven't been classified as a Master cosplayer already! O_O Your work is more than qualified to be at that level and deserves to be there.
Aside: A startup can no longer be classified as such when a company that began as a startup has built up revenue to over $50 million & has surpassed 100 employees. Or if a companyβs value is $500 million or more. Or it has bought out other companies.
Sold to Rubelmann Capital (a private equity firm) in partnership with existing management, Simplicity Creative Group will continue to operate and retain about 78 employees.
A "200-year-old startup" is still a baffling phrase, and screams "marketing" :D
Anyway! Here's what's happening to the big 4 pattern company: craftindustryalliance.org/sewing-patte...
Time to remind people about the Commercial Pattern Archive β it doesnβt have instructions and search is a bear but thereβs two hundred yearsβ worth of clothing patterns in here including all the big names new and old:

Cosplay & streaming gave me the skills to land freelance work in medical writing.
For my upcoming Miryokucon panel, Iβm gathering insights from fellow creator, cosplayers, streamers, artist, about the transferable skills youβve gained.

CosPod: The Cosplay Podcast title card for Episode 307 - Wibbly Wobbly WCS
Our latest episode is out right now! We cover the World Cosplay Summit 2025 along with a host of crafting news, convention coverage, and not-convention coverage.
No aftersession this time! It's a long episode and we were talked out. π

Please support if our online marketplace or in person markets have helped you in any way. We would be grateful for any support or shares!
I have been struggling to keep the marketplace afloat, and humbly ask for your help. If Lumikha is a resource you see value in, please share or support in any way that you can.
I hope we can overcome this and Lumikha can continue being a resource for cosplayers for years to come.
ko-fi.com/lumikha
In the past 4.5 years, Lumikha has rehomed hundreds of costumes, props, wigs and more. Weβve hosted 5 in person cosplay markets, rehoming 75+ items at these pop up events alone.
Due to financial hardship, the repeated abuse of the platform (offsite transactions), attacks by scammers, and the increase in cost of maintaining the platform, Lumikha Cosplay Resale is currently down. If you would like to support the platform moving forward, please consider supporting on Ko-fi, where we have migrated all donations and support. Iβm doing my best to keep the platform going, but it has honestly been very difficult to do so in the last year.
This past weekend, Lumikha Cosplay Resale temporarily closed.
Thank you to all who have supported us.
As a small business owner I often struggle to reach out for help, as I take on all of the day to day operations of the marketplace and the financial burden of running a marketplace.
