Hope you this helps you to find your favorite crafting store! Cosplay is a super fun hobby, but finding the right materials can be clearly a bit challenging. Just keep in mind that cosplay is not about creating a perfect costume! It’s absolutely fine to start small, to buy costumes or just do a casual character. My very first projects were super simple as well and I mostly worked with paper mache and expanding foam. Over the years I only gathered more tools and learned to work with new materials. It’s a journey and failing, learning and getting better is also incredible fun!

Very good post and information for me; please share more; I will read it.
I usually cosplay Chinese or Japanese costumes World’s Hardest Game. The big problem here is that fabrics often have patterns that are hard to find. Do you have any recommendations for stores that specialize in fabric cosplay?
