As I stepped into the practice sewing room, the smell of fabric and thread enveloped me, instantly putting a smile on my face. It was my sanctuary, my place to bring my cosplay dreams to life. My eyes scanned the room, landing on the rows of sewing machines neatly lined up against the wall. I couldn't wait to get started on my latest project, a cosplay of my favorite magical girl character. With a skip in my step, I made my way to an empty sewing station, my heart racing with excitement.
