Spider-Man Sewing Help Needed

[ParmaSpidey]

Hey everyone,

I bought Taylor's Amazing Spider-Man print and I'm attempting to sew it. I am stuck in two areas though:

1. There is a printed section in thethe center of the neck that that has no weblines or anything on it, and I don't know what should be done with it or what its function is. Do I cut it out? Is my neck supposed to go through it? I am really stuck.

2. Also having problems with the mask. The sides just aren't coming together right, there's too much excess material. Can anyone help me out or point me to a tutorial on how to sew up this suit? Its based on the Raimi pattern.

Thanks in advance for all of your help everyone!

i was going to get taylors prints now im wondering if i shouldnt? did you figure it out?

That hole in the neck should be sewn together to compensate for the curvature of your neck.

Take a look at these two pictures. They should help explain how the mask goes together.

Remember to sew webline-to-webline, the blank space outside of the weblines are your seam allowance.

Don't thank me, I got these from the boards here, years ago, back when registration was rarely opened up and I was a lurker. Someone was kind enough to create and post these then, I'm just paying it forward.

Once you get your head around this pattern, it makes infinitely more sense, and you can figure the seams out fairly easily. I've been staring at this pattern for 7+ years, so just trying to pass some of that along.

Here are two more images that may be helpful.

The first is of how the foot/boot is sewn together:

The second is just a breakdown of where things are on the pattern to help you visualize it all better:

Wow, that makes so much more sense. The mask layout always confused me a little. That cleared it right up for me. Now when I get the funds for a spidey print I won't be bugging everyone on here about it. Much thanks!

Awww I wish I had that boot diagram 2 weeks ago! I figured it out though. Nice paying it forward Nick!

 

[ParmaSpidey]

Wow!! Thanks so much Nick! This really helps tremendously!

All you guys and girls on here are great!

Thanks for the help Nick. Just what the doctor ordered since I'll soon have a 3rd suit to get sewn up. And a special thanks Parmaspidey for asking the question.
Cheers,
Kevin

Does anyone have an actual sewing pattern? My seamstress has a ton of experience but just isn't 100% sure how to sew up my suit. I've saved all the pictures above with other's i've found but haven't seen anything that is a complete sewing pattern for a suit. (I have a gunhead designs ASM2 suit). Any help is appreciated, along with what I've found on this thread!
