Jenny Ives is a Costume designer out of Seattle, WA. She got started sewing as a small child, growing up in a sewing family it was in her blood. In high school, she found her love of vintage clothing. That was a pipeline to starting costuming in the theater and her ballet studio. She loved helping to create a beautiful world on the stage! She started doing cosplay in 2013, cosplay was a new way to build her creativity. She expanded her sewing techniques and was inspired by all the other creators. In 2015 she discovered her love for competing in Cosplay Contests. It lit a fire in her to try so many new things. Making friends with these competitors drove her to be her best, and drove her to challenge herself. She started making her designs of Superhero ballgowns. But designing was never enough. From there it was how to take things to the next level. What new skills could she learn? It started small, sewing in fairy lights to make something glow. Currently, she is making fully articulated wings. There is always a new way to draw her creativity forward.
