We've all been there, the night before the con, gluing and sewing some last minute details to our costumes. Staying up super late trying to get it done. Getting up early the next morning for a final touch up.
How do you avoid this?? Planning, planning, planning! If you want to avoid hitting con crunch, plan accordingly! Start early! Once you know what you are making, get your fabric and supplies as early as possible to give yourself enough time for putting it all together. Schedule days on weekends to allow yourself nothing but costume time. Plan your social events around costume days if you can. And fit in as many mini crafting sessions as you can on weeknights and around seeing friends and family. Get help from friends! If you have friends who are crafty, even if they don't cosplay, they can help you out with your costume! See if they are willing to make a trade, ie "i'll buy you lunch if you can help me glue this"
