Time to remind people about the Commercial Pattern Archive — it doesn’t have instructions and search is a bear but there’s two hundred years’ worth of clothing patterns in here including all the big names new and old:

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.

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.

The best thing you can do for a small business when you can't financially support is to tell someone about it!
Many people I talk to say they would have used Lumikha #Cosplay Resale sooner to buy/sell secondhand if they had known about it. Please help to keep spreading the word💖

Working on Otaku Oasis panel videos and the sound quality is rough. Once again urging conventions to close panel rooms. When the noise outside overpowers the presenter, it's difficult for everyone to hear & engage. Place a staff member at the door to allow entry/exit with minimal noise disturbance.
