Sword Contruction (Posted 2nd August 2011)

Marked out the sword on the foam and cut in the pole through the middle

Started the Sword (Posted 1st August 2011)

Started the sword with sticking together the two foam sheets to create one long enough for the sword. Then templated the actual blade section.

Worked out and contructed the sleeves.

Robe Airbrushed (Posted 30th July 2011)

Airbrushed the robe with the pattern

Robe Construction Finished (Posted 23rd July 2011)

The robe has been finished off construction wise. Happy with it. Just need to airbrush the red pattern on when I have the mindset.

Also added the zip to the red top. Have found out though that it doesnt sit right around the neck so will need adjusting.

Robe Construction (Posted 5th July 2011)

The second batch of material turned up today so I managed to get the last sections cut out and overlocked. I started construction on the robe, it was very large but by the time Id pleated the top it fitted fine. Just need to adjust the sleeves and add the hood.

Top Beginings (Posted 4th July 2011)

I started the top today. Finished the basic shape. Just need to wait for a zip. Then need to add the details like the dangly bits.

Patterns and Robe (Posted 3rd July 2011)

Today I worked out the pattern for the robe and after much hardship drawing it out on newspaper I finally started to cut out the sections needed. I didnt have enough in the end so need to wait for more to turn up. I cut out the sections and overlocked the edges.
