Recent Progress Journals

Zzz...

I have a hat! It's all fleece, which was slightly harder to sew than anticipated. The spots are hand-sewn on, and the rest is machine-sewn.

Jacket is go

PepperCos

So much progress today! I've spent the last couple of weeks casually working on the pattern for the jacket and yesterday/a bit of this morning I transferred it from my test fabric to pattern paper. Today I cut all the pieces out and dyed the yellow and dark red parts (the fabric I'm using didn't come in these colours). I've tried two dark reds to see which is better. His wig's about 90% done as of a few weeks ago too but I want to change a couple of things.

Shoes W.I.P

Cauldron Of Mischief

I made the shoes from an old pair of base boots I trimmed down, then added upholstery foam for the basic shape, then made a pattern and cut it out of faux leather :) I used contact cement to stick it to the boot and underneath to secure it. Eyelets and lace was punched in before I stuck it down~ The white trim is yet to be added!

Shirt and Wrist Band

Finally got round to putting together training kit Eli. It's a bit rough but I'm mostly planning this cosplay for meets so for now I'm happy with it.
