Description So many people love my grandmother cosplay, I am even envy xDDD
Also many of you asks why Sophie doesn't have Howl. Ok, she have.
Ahaha, originally I made both costumes all by myself, and only in 1 week. The hardest part was
Howl's coat (or how can I call this thing?), when I sewed together all that rhombs,
I thought my head will explode X_X I am not a seamstress and don’t visit manual training at school (I’ve draw and write for school newspaper, lol), so I really hate to sew costumes. But I think that the only way to have costume that have good quality and look a proper way – it is made it by yourself…
Ok. Main part of this picture, that I am a cosplayer here, not a photographer xD

Anna Vasilyevna (she is my grandmother!) as Sophie Hatter
Me as Howl
Photographer – run.

I love your gramma fantastic cosplay as well. It took you a week you say? Do you know how many hours you worked? I have a horrible habit of procrastination and always end up working the day before and day of the con. Great job, nonetheless, on the entire work. I wish my gramma cosplayed with me.....

Great job again I am definitely inspired to start on my own piece.

Your costumes are absolutely beautiful! Both you and your grandma are perfect for the characters too. I'm wondering if you have any patterns or advice on how to make Howl's coat and Sophie's dress. My friend and I are planning a Howl's Moving Castle, but both of us are novice seamstresses, and I can't really find any tutorials. How did you put the costumes together? Doing everything in less than a week is really incredible.

Ahaha, well, I cant give any normal advice xD' I just still cant believe that I did it xD I was in hurry - it was already very cold outside and if I didn't made them in short time, we cant take photos outside, so I just did it without any thoughts accept "FASTER!!!@_@"
All I can say, I used patterns from magazine "Burda", its French magazine but I think they sell it in any country. As for the coat, oh well... I recommend you search for fabric and dont sew it from rhombs like I did. Cause its REALLY hard 0_0
