Hi Bethani, and welcome to the forum!

I think it's great that you enjoy sewing so much and have branched out from costumes to “everyday” clothes as well.

Thank you for sharing my patterns/resources with your 1701st fleet.

And in my opinion, unless it's a life goal (or some such thing) for you, it doesn't really matter whether or not you're a “professional cosplayer” or not, as long as you're enjoying yourself – which it sounds like you are. 🙂
