Waistcoat, finished (Posted 5 Days Ago) Finnaly finished sewing all of the gold trim and frogs onto the waistcoat last night. Luckily despite it being gone midnight I somehow managed to get all of the frogs on straight and the waistcoat front lining up correctely when worn \o/ |
|
Nearly there (Posted 6 Days Ago) Drac continues to progress nicely. My riding boots arrived and have had suitable detailing added, and I've got my shirt, wig and teath too. Once there finished I just need to make the rope and clasp for the cloak and shave me beard to shape. |
|
Trimings (Posted 2 Weeks Ago) Well I've got a flauncy shirt and the boots should be coming today or tomorrow :) I've also found some nice lace edging and fasteners so I'm cutting these to the patterns I want and painting them gold for the waistcoat trim. Also have a big red 'eye' to serve as the base of his gem, need to make a fitting for that though. Made the red waist sash last night too, same red satin as the cloak. |
|
Boots (Posted 2 Weeks Ago) Well I had to give up on the heeled ladyboots, best I could find in bigfoot size where thigh high and 90 quid with postage :( Other than that progress is good. Dracs satin cloak is basicaly done, it's ace and big enough to hide a small american state in! His jacket is also finished and I spent the weekend making his waistcoat, though I now need to work out how to do the gold detailing. Pics to follow :) |
|
sewing (Posted 3 Weeks Ago) Started work on the cloak and jacket this week. Totally forgot to buy a chep bat at halloween though and I still have to figure out how I'm going to do the gold lace work on the waistcoat. |
|
Fabric (Posted 3 Months Ago) Got all the Fabric now and boy did it get expensive >_< Keeping an eye out for fancy gold trim now and knee high ladyboots now! |
