Sewing since the 1990s, Johanna had organized costuming events at many conventions, including Gallifrey One and Rose City ComicCon. She penned "Costuming: More Creative Than Drugs, But Just As Expensive" for the Hugo-award winning collection "Chicks Dig Timelords" and wrote FabricForCosplayers.com because it's the reference she wished she had when she was starting out. Johanna lives in the Pacific Northwest with one husband, two cats and almost too much fabric.
