Long time no post...I'm here to revive not only my username but this thread!
I'm in the process of making both Hector and Dolores for my s/o and myself this year. I kicked off the process with what will inevitably be the hardest costume piece; Hector's hat!
I documented my process via my Youtube channel in a 3 part video. Part 1 is up, located here:

Here's the completed veg tanned, hand sewn, tooled and fully lined hat:

Part 2 of the video will be up next Friday and then the 3rd part the Friday after that! I already have my fabric for Dolores, and probably will be doing dye tests at some point next week. I'm waiting on my screen accurate coutil for the corset to arrive, as well as the screen accurate buckle, which I ordered a few weeks ago.
Hoping to start posting my progress over here again!
