Cookie Monster has been on my costume wish list for at least a decade, but I've been hesitant due to several factors - subpar sewing and patterning skills, uncertainty of a few design elements, and knowing it would take a lot of time. Historically, I burned a week of PTO for my yearly dose of costuming therapy. Long days in the shop, a few all nighters, racing towards the beggar's night deadline ... and loving every minute of it.
As fate would have it, I experienced a 2023 reduction in force and am currently in what we'll call a "professional transitional period". Obviously, I decided to do the right thing ... put the job search on hold, drop some coin on materials, and spend an entire month creating what may or may not be my best creation yet.
This lovable Monstrosity is a culmination of techniques and design experience I've acquired over the years, plus new skills ... some of which were painstakingly learned/earned.
