Thought Tumblr might appreciate this. This weekend, got to co-host a panel with my dear friend Greg @gregtu - "30 Years of Stargate" was his brainchild and I was honoured to join him. And it only seemed appropriate, given that we've both been cosplaying these characters for a while now, that we'd co-host as Daniel and Vala!

Even though my blog is my most longstanding social media account (YIKES) I rarely post here about what is my greatest passion: sewing! Especially since many of my projects are cosplays from fandoms I am feral about on here am totally well-adjusted about in front of you all, I thought I’d share one that feels particularly appropriate: my Vala Mal Doran cosplay! I patterned and constructed this costume using the few high-def references out there and a whole lot of screenshots.
(PS in one of these you can even see my point of origin tattoo, in pride of place on my wrist!)
(PPS my Vala coat has a little secret sewn inside when I caught the coat on a nail and had to repair a little rip in the lining with a patch upon which I embroidered a part of the message Michael Shanks signed for me after a friend met him at a con and showed him a pic of me in a genderbent Danielle Jackson cosplay 🥰😭):
