Yesterday I finished sewing my own nepeta hat for my nepeta cosplay. I felt some pride in making her horns, but the hat? I've genuinely never felt so much euphoria in doing something that isn't drawing or gardening. 

I was given a sewing machine as a gift for my birthday a year ago, but I haven't touched it in fear of making something 'Ugly'. But one day, I thought 'yknow what? I'll make this nepeta hat even if its fucking ugly'.

Best decision ever, I felt so much pride over the final result. It's wonky, it's long in places, its not sewn neatly, but I made it, all on my own. ... I think I'm starting to like this whole cosplay thing.
