Re: Non-Raimi Sewing Pattern "Captain America: Civil War" Spider-Man

I tried to make my posts slightly more useful than usual but this is probably pointless. Here's a simplified, slightly more traditional rendition so I can encourage conversation about the actual quality of the costume's design:
No real work put into it. Just thought I ought to post it, particularly because I want a picture so people are more likely to read my question.

I want a costume for myself where at this juncture, if texture is impossible I'd spend as little money as possible. My current idea is to buy a Spoonflower Pro subscription and do a bulk buy of a bunch of my suits (maybe in multiple sizes). The conundrum is I could wait and get a better quality textured suit sewn better and more likely to work if I just waited longer. The only real reason to do SpoonFlower is impatience and money. Does anyone know what they'd do?

(edit):Also, it's probably as original as it can be while still being a replica. How much can I talk about selling without a premium membership? I'm wondering, if I were to sell it after a test... What should it come with, what type of file/files am I sending, what would be a suitable price, would it help me if I already have a way of getting the non file costume out there, where is a good place to sell it, how do I establish myself as legitimate?

I'm always updating. It's been a 7 piece for a while and I've experimented with my own variations and concept art interpretations. Can you guys tell me what would be a good idea once I've proven I can successfully make patterns? What new patterns to make and additions... etc. I'm just a bit curious how much interest the community has in me/my work (Is it okay to call it "my work"). (Some sites really like to change the colours I use)

P.S. Is there room to talk about web shooters and 3D modelling? It's a skill I don't have but I'm thinking a lot about custom designs and the non used Raimi ones.

Dude you are amazing! Maybe you should try to make the Ultimate Spider-Man(Miles Morales) suit, or the Big Time Spider-Man suit(if you don't know what the big time looks like... it essentially looks like a TRON suit)

I probably should have mentioned that was a homecoming design. I'm not incredibly satisfied with some parts of it and am not sure what to do (it looks wrong but am either too unsure or lazy to right it). After that picture I worked on one with seam allowance and the slightest of modification. Can I make this collaborative without giving away my file? I wanna know how I can improve myself with help from the community. I'm willing to post more than I have and I like the idea of helping those who want a Marvel Spider-Man costume. I'm looking forward to getting my patterns right.

I've taken some tips from the handbook of a certain other RPF Dye Subber: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=263485

Is this for a 7 piece suit or is it supposed to be sewn together as 1 piece, im certainly interested in this project cause it looks like a 7 piece as well as looks easy to sew together

Hi Timey,

that is a great start, one thing i would recommend, when designing, is a lot of people will ask for sizing. and you will need to make sure if you size it will your pattern still sew together properly.

Testing the pattern is very important, before i used the rami style i attempted my own pattern, i had it test printed and it didn't work out, so i switched to the pattern everyone else used which was Rami, and after a couple of years i designed my own pattern and test printed and it works for sizing and pattern design.

as for using the Art work other have done. if you are looking at it for reference, and not tracing or copying textures then you are ok.

if you are tracing lines, placement i would not recommend to try and sell patterns or prints from it as it would be considered unethical.

another tip start small do not take on a huge amount of work, start small get a feel for the work load, time it takes to complete orders, you can get a bad reputation really quickly by not completing orders. always be open an honest with potential clients or time frames and costs. price according to what you thing your time and effort is worth not the Market.

This needs to be fun for you, if it becomes a burden it will turn into resentment it will affect your work as well.

hope some of this helps and if you have any other questions send me a message. happy designing !

Thank you so much. I'm a fan of your work and this is a very useful comment. I'm waiting on a print that I can test and I've rebooted this thread with some more information that'll probably help more than what's here.

The civil war design is 7 piece.

The civil war design is 7 piece.

so if i were to buy and print it out, could i attach u-hooks to over lap, would the suit be stretch out or will there not be enough material?

It sounds like I don't know as much as I should about 7 piece suits. All I did was extend the pattern's pieces I assumed ought to be the underlayer so any clothing shifting wouldn't expose skin. I'm not entirely sure what you mean but there is plenty extra fabric on the pants, sleeves & neck.

 

[Lukeclm]

I apologize if I confused you and it's alright if you don't know everything, that's why we learn, what I meant like is the shirt where the belt is long enough to overlap the pants, are the arm sleeves able to be overlapped by the gloves and are the boots able to overlap the legs of the pants, that why to make sure you extend them a bit to make sure they will fit cause I ran into thay problem with the 7 piece suit im making now and had to cut out and sew up a new sleeve, or to fully know does it have to be printed out and sewn together?

Hi Luke,

I am not sure on this pattern, but typically you would want about 3--6 inches of overlap fabric when using the hook method.

if you only have a small seam allowance 3/4 - 1" would not be enough for the hook method. you need enough length to you are not putting a lot of pressure near the edges.
