CUT/SEW x Cosplay America 2026



Raleigh, NC [ June 26th - 28th, 2026 ]

This summer, we’re partnering with Cosplay America to bring a series of hands-on, cosplay-centric workshops to Raleigh. Whether you’re refining your technique or starting something new, this collaboration is designed to help you level up your builds with practical, real-world skills taught by the CUT/SEW team. We hope you'll join us for a weekend of learning, skill-building, and community!
