Make Your Own Cosplay Patterns
You can also make your patterns yourself. Making templates can be a lot of fun. Plus you can save yours and even start your own shop. I always recommend saving patterns regardless since you never know where you might find a use for it again later.
You could start by hand drawing or tracing. Or you might be an incredibly talented artist and capable of drawing them out yourself free handed. If not, you can trace by hand or digitally in applications like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop or Inkscape (free to use).
There’s also draping fabric on dress forms to create sewing patterns for cosplay or using plastic wrap, duct tape and a marker to create armor patterns. You have a ton of options for cosplay templates and blueprints! So, find a good one and get crafting!
