Comment on Tutorial: How to modify patterns for Cosplay by Malindachan

I've never sewed before in my life, but I'm planning to work hard on a homemade SnK cosplay - complete with 3dmg - so that I can wear it at Otakon next year. It's seeming really unrealistic right now (obviously) but tutorials like this are hugely helpful! I actually did buy a pattern already at JoAnn's - someone working there helped me figure out a good one to buy - so modifying that has sort of been my plan.
