Hawkeye is my favorite Avenger. He’s sassy, he’s obnoxious, and he’s just too dang cool. I decided that Denver Comic Con 2013 would be the best place to debut a Hawkeye costume. Hawkeye was a new experience for me. I learned how to pattern my own cowl (which took a lot of trial and error), and use craft foam as a sewing medium (the thin stuff falls apart through a sewing machine, but the thick stuff works well). It was a great experience, and also the first time I’ve tried to squeeze myself into a compression vest to make myself a little more masculine. Unfortunately, I’m just too female to manage that well.
