I started officially cosplaying in 2015. I created a youtube channel (Cosplay Life) a few years later. I figured if I was looking up how to do something and couldn't find a video showing me how to do it, I should probably make the video.

With a love for crafting, creating costumes quickly became a fun hobby that suddenly grew into full fledged cosplay. Lara Croft was my official first costume, hence the reason for using ""Crofty"" in my name. It's also just been a fun nickname and the gamertag people know me by. Through my YouTube channel, I aim to create cosplays on a budget and share my tutorials with those who wish to make wonderful costumes without breaking the bank.
Sara has been cosplaying since 2002, when she was 13 years old. Today she works as a full-time mom with a full-time job and still manages to fit in some time to work on cosplay projects for fun! Most of her work today are hybrid sewn and armor crafted costume pieces from various video games. On the side, Sara enjoys playing the piano on flute arranging music.
I love weathering props—using a brush, I add black or brown paint to creases and edges and smudge it with a paper towel. It adds so much depth and shading to really make props pop. I use this technique on everything from weapons to princess crowns!
