My first go at costuming.
Making this for my son who plans to wear it to Emerald City Comic-Con.
I've compiled multiple pics into one for now, (I've got a bunch more, plus my wife has some on her phone), as we're in the thick of construction.
Pretty much doing this from scratch based on screen caps, pics from the web, etc.
I haven't threaded a sewing machine in probably 20+ years, (since a home ec. class, long, long ago - ), so this has been interesting.
I've done most of the major sewing/construction with the exceptions being the bias tape on the completed under-vest & over-vest/chest piece, (my wife did these), & the assembly of the under-vest left/right/back panels, (again, done by my wife).
So, here's the pic for now. I'll post more as time allows.
{I'm currently taking two 1/4" pieces of brass & manually shaping them for the buckles o' the belt... }
