Details- GRRR (Posted 5th August 2012)

Am finally adding the details to Jareth's vest after a day of procrastination!
Paper mache bits are drying so I can't do anything else to them yet but they should only need painting. Have cut out all the extra leatherette sections so they only need to be glued on. And that's practically it for the detailing. Am annoyed that it won't look great but nothing I can do about it now!

Vest (Posted 1st August 2012)

Leatherette vest has been, just need to add a zip to the back. My friend was great and helped me to make a lot of it as I've never made anything like that before so mega thanks to her! Just go to ass the detail to that and that will be finished. Bought some stuff (vylene I think it's called) for the massive collar as it will stiffen so that the material stays in the shape I want it to. Am nearly there with this costume, just have to add detail and attach it all together and I shall be finished!

Cloak update (Posted 29th July 2012)

brown leatherette section of cloak (final layer yay!) has finally been done. As I don't have a sewing machine I attached all the bits by hand sewing them on which took hours as I wanted to do it properly. Now just need to add the bone detail- won't look as good as I want it to as I'm very quickly running out of time but I can always re-do it at a later date.

Cloak (Posted 21st July 2012)

Finally sewn on all the triangles to make the ragged layer of his cloak, it's taken me like a week to do that and I'm pleased with the outcome. Have started the final layer of his cloak, using some brown leatherette for the shoulder pieces and the back jagged section (I know what I mean). Will upload progress pictures as soon as I have some.

Have ordered a crystal ball! Think this will add to the costume :D

Cloak (Posted 13th July 2012)

Have made good progress on the cloak. Black and blue material was cut out, hemmed and sewn together to form the base layers. Have cut black organza fabric out and sewn this to the top of the black material, it's really nice and floaty so I think it works well. Am cutting up more of the organza and adding more ripped layers to give the cloak a better overall affect. Have got a rough shape for the brown leatherette that needs to be added to the top so that the bone detail can be glued to it. Overall, cloak is about 2/3 finished :D Will upload photos when I get some decent ones.

A start. (Posted 2nd June 2012)

I've made a start finally to this cosplay. Surprisingly, I already have a lot of the items I need (leggings,boots, gloves,shirt, wig). I'm starting on the cloak, I have black material for it but still needs blue material and perhaps gauze or something like that to go over the top. Still got no idea how I'm going to make the vest or the collar- will figure that out later when it comes to it!
