Cooking up a cool costume | Photo of the day 7.26

Luna Rivera sews together a costume during the Cosplay Design & Sewing Lab at the Bainbridge Public Library Thursday.

Luna was making the chef’s costume worn by Colette in “Ratatouille,” an animated film about a rat who wants to become a chef.

“It’s like a childhood movie for me. I’ve been watching that movie for a long time, so it’s something that came to mind,” she said.

“I look decently like her and I don’t have to buy wigs or anything,” she said of Colette.

Luna said she already had sewing skills as a Waldorf student, but creating a costume was something new. “I’ve never made a costume before, so it’s kind of like getting a feel for it.”

She’ll wear her completed costume, she said, on “Halloween or whenever I get the chance.”
