DIY Cosplay Armor Tutorial (Sewable Foam and Fabric)

I'm going to show you how to make cosplay armor with fabric and sewable foam! I am using a foam stablizer which is completely sewable! Not only can I sew seams in the foam, I can also do applique and decorative stitching through the foam and fabric.
In this tutorial I cover patterning your armor, sewing the the armor, adding bias/trim armor details, how to sew details into the armor, and how I attach it all so it is wearable!
The cosplay armor I am making in this video is for Lucy Heartfilia from Fairytail. This cosplay is from the Grand Magic Games arc of the anime
