Guts Cosplayer Credit: anlace_cos
My name is Eve - a.k.a Suspicious Tumbleweed. I'm a professional seamstress, fabricator, and cosplayer from Quebec, Canada. With over 10 years of experience behind me, I have created costumes from a wide variety of sources including gaming, films & TV, books, and some original designs.
My journey began back in 2011, when I was costuming with friends. I was wearing ready-made costumes I had purchased online. I remember being completely amazed by the wonderful costumes that crafters and cosplayers were bringing to events, and so I decided I would start making my own.
I began by following online tutorials made by professional cosplayers, and attempting to recreate what I saw through trial and error. In 2014, I started to work with thermoplastics, like Worbla, and later expanded into using EVA foam. I instantly fell in love with making and wearing armor; it continues to be one of my favourite parts of costume-building. By 2015 I was much more confident in my sewing abilities, and so I was able to start making all the components of my costumes - including the shoes!
Since then, I've taken on increasingly elaborate and challenging builds, both for my own costumes and commissions from clients. I've also been a guest at conventions as a cosplay judge, and given numerous workshops and panels. In my latest builds, I have incorporated specialist techniques such as hand sewing, basic LEDs, wig styling, and resin casting.
​
My current goals are to continue to improve and hone my skills, and further expand my commission services. I also want to help others learn how to make their own costumes, and to enjoy costume making as much as I do! On my YouTube channel, you'll find my sewing and fabrication walkthroughs. You can also join me live on Twitch where I stream my work on projects, and am always happy to answer any questions and share my expertise with all interested parties.
