Making a replica of any kind of dress from Game of Thrones is a commitment, as cosplayer Eveychu learned when she crafted Margaery Tyrell’s gown from the Purple Wedding. The character always has fancy attire, and to get it just right, Eveychu invested time into the project. She says it’s the costume she’s most proud of in her portfolio and shares a little about the process:
The entire thing was handmade by myself. I drafted the pattern from scratch. Spent months on it including – colouring leather silver and cutting it in to leaves, weaving a hemp rope to form all the vines, cutting sequins into flowers and leaves, attaching metal spikes, and hand rolling over 300 roses for the train.
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, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, 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.
