This is my first costume and my first sewing project. I wanted something similar to the
TASM suit but more comic book-esque and more like the Ultimate Spiderman cartoon- with
removable boots, gloves and mask.I'm borrowing elements from different Spiderman costumes; big spider for the back, TASM spider for the front, but a little wider, my own spin on the web designs and more comic book eyes, pure white with a bit of attitude to the brow. This is my practice suit and I plan on making a better one after I get through this one.
I'm not using anyone's patterns. Everything is custom, original, I used a stencil for the front spider, but everything else is hand drawn/painted).
I've been talking about making one for a while and this Christmas my wife showed me how to
use her sewing machine and got me a gift card for fabric and pointed me to this site. I've
been looking around and very impressed by the costumes on here.
I was especially inspired by Lunaman and MCL34N and MRbibou --- all very impressive.
Hope you like what I've done. Feel free to comment, critique, etc.
Here's the running shoe I took apart
Glued them to the boots I sewed, then drew on the webs.
Here is the left glove, the right one still doesn't have webs. I need a hand model since I'm right handed! I drew everything on with washable marker, then sharpie like MRbibou.
These are the eyes I made. Puff paint frames, pressed smooth while drying, and for the white: I found that cross-stitch perforated plastic from the craft store worked quite well.
Here I am, testing the suit fit mid sew. I did the top and bottom separate at first, but then decided to go with them attached.
And the suit, with webs and spider. All sharpie.
And most recently, I finished the back spider, this morning. Drew up how I wanted it to look, traced it on with washable marker and painted many, many layers of puffy paint on.
Eyes taped in place to see how they'd look...
And finally, everything I've got finished thus far, while perched on the bathroom counter...
Better pics will come as I get more finished. I started about a week ago, plan to be done by next week. Total cost: under 70 bucks.
Hope you all like!
