Outfits inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender | Water, Earth, Fire, and Air
Thrifting for outfits inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender was so much fun! The most challenging pieces to find at the thrift store was the final accessories and touches that would complete the looks but overall I'm so proud of everything I was able to get secondhand. Let me know which nation you liked the best. I can't choose, they're all are so cute!!!
Have you seen Netflix's live action adaptation yet? I really enjoyed watching it for the most part and hope they release book 2! Dallas Liu was the perfect Zuko and I really loved Commander Zhao. Let me know your thoughts in the comments :) #avatarthelastairbender #thrifting #lookbook

How to trace your clothes and turn them into PATTERNS! @coolirpa
This video has been highly requested for so long! I hope this helps you out and clears some confusion you had about tracing your clothes and patternmaking :)
This is how I trace my clothes to create patterns. In no way am I teaching you professionally how to patternmake. If you want to get even more technical, I recommend purchasing a patternmaking book or taking a class.
