The goal of Stuffed Panda Studios is to create vibrant and well constructed mascot costumes. Every costume is seen as a new challenge, and I am constantly striving to improve and develop innovative ideas. So what makes stuff better panda style?
Every costume is one of a kind. Want a really unique mascot that no one else has for your business? An eye-catching werewolf for Halloween? How about a realistic dragon for that new theater production? Every costume I make is unique, and I’ll never replicate an existing costume in our gallery.
Construction is taken seriously. I pride myself in having great construction. Every seam is reinforced, neatly sewn, and comfortable. Not only will the outside look good, but the inner workings will as well. Seams are always sewn, and never glued.
I do more than sewing. Painting & airbrushing are also big parts of the creation process. Small details and shading are often added to make your mascot really pop!
I want you to be able to breathe. I do my best to make costume heads lightweight, cool, and breathable. While heads will always be warm, I include many areas for ventilation and have the option of installing a fan so the wearer is as comfortable as possible.
Been there, done that. Unlike some costume designers, I wear mascot costumes on a regular basis at trade shows, conventions, and events. This means I am able to spot and work around problem areas such as heat & visibility. Be sure to ask about some things I’ve found useful: hidden pockets for ID/ emergency cash, pouches for ice packs, a slot in the head for a straw, etc.
