There are a handful of costumes I see at every convention I attend. Harley Quinn is currently at the top of that list, but Sailor Scouts from Sailor Moon are popular too. Sailor Moon is the one I spot most frequently, but I see several others and sometimes entire group cosplays. Tsuri, a.k.a. JS Cosplay, makes a terrific Super sailor Mars. She used a pattern from Maia/NyuNyu Cosplay and sewed the entire costume by hand:
Body suit made from 4 way stretch milliskin matte spandex, red is a cotton sateen, arm bands made with piping cord filler. Interface used for the bow.
Her wig is from Epic Cosplay, and for the sake of time, she purchased Sailor Mars accessories from Unique Cosplay Props.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
