How to Get Started with Cosplay and What Makes a Good Costume with Jedimanda

Join me as I chat with Jedimanda, a.k.a. Amanda Haas, cosplayer, seamstress, author, and unapologetic fangirl. Cosplay is a new topic for Behind the Seams, so if you have never heard of cosplay and think it might not be for you, give this a listen before you make up your mind! It truly is both fascinating and fun! For those of you who already cosplay - just hang in there while we get everyone else up to speed! Amanda attends cosplay competitions nationwide as both a competitor and judge and has placed in and won many cosplay competitions. She has been featured on the cover of Cosplay Culture Magazine and Cohaku with appearances in Star Wars Insider magazine. She’s graced the websites of Nerdist, D23, SyFy, and marvel.com. Amanda and I talk about how people can get started with cosplay, what makes a good costume, what the cosplay world is up to now, her dive into video production, her new book Creative Cosplay, and much more. To learn more about Amanda and her amazing costumes and videos visit her at Jedimanda or check out her videos on her YouTube channel. -C&T's website and blogVisit us on Facebook • YouTube • Pinterest • Instagram • TwitterMusic: www.bensound.com
