30th August 2011: Cravat... thing 1 Made two of these in different sizes, put one on top of the other, sew together, and voila!
Then I went and stuffed the finished product into a bag which messed up the pleats, so I'll put a finished photo here when I can be bothered to get the ironing board out and sort it out first. XD;
30th August 2011: Cape 4 SO SNUGGLY! /o/
(I incorporated a bit of ribbon in the collar so that this ties together in the middle. Also forgot to mention the gold straps I made to go around the fluffy "bobbles" along the bottom edge.)
30th August 2011: Cape 3 I supposed it should be a cloak not a cape, but anyway! One big piece of wadding, ready to be rolled up and inserted into the collar area!
(Also, I had one more photo of the progress of the shorts but it's disappeared. Ah well. But the shorts are done, slits and frilly black edge and everything!)
6th June 2011: Cape 2 The back design is felt and white fabric paint, satin stitched onto the cape. The cape is lined with red cotton which was bought for something else I ended up not making. The gold edge is leftover stuff from my Sigmund cosplay.
Satin stitching designs is very, very annoying. =_=
...This is turning out to be one big recycling project. I wish every cosplay can be like this, then I won't have such a large pile of leftover fabrics...
6th June 2011: Cape 1 Leftovers again! This time it's red cotton velvet from one of Storme's old cosplay, and velvety white ribbon from my David cosplay (I bought 2 rolls of the stuff in Hong Kong because it was really cheap. XD)
6th June 2011: Shorts I'm making this out of leftover fabric from my Flynn cosplay last year because I really like the texture of it. This is going to be dyed green, and then I'll cut slit into it and add the blue panels. I bought discounted dupion silk for this.
I've already made the lining using leftover stuff from my Zidane cosplay. The theory is that after I added the blue panels, I'll line it, and add wadding or whatever between the lining and the shorts to puff them up. I hope it'll work...
