Favorite Piece of Advice

Finished is better than perfect. It's so easy to get caught up in all the minor details in a costume, especially costumes from video games that don't actually exist in this world. So while working on these costumes, remember that finishing a costume or garment will always make you happier than struggling to make something "perfect".
