I'm working on getting a set of leather bracers and jerkin done in time for an upcoming Renfaire. In this post I discuss the patterning of the bracers.

In Part One I covered the process of creating the base form for the shield from craft foam. In this part, I focus on resin coating the shield to provide a tough surface.

This post covers my process for creating Jaune's shield. In this article I cover the cutting process and preparations for resin coating.

The jumpsuit in the reference art has no sleeves but the pattern I'm using includes them. In this post I'm going to cover the process of creating and attaching sleeve facings.

I have received the muslin with changes marked so I'm cutting the fabric and getting ready to sew!

Had some more time so I began putting the pants together.

Had some time so I began work on the remake of Rei's pants.

In this post I'm going to cover the process I went through for constructing Dalian's necklace.

Spent most of Saturday (and a whole tank worth of water) interfacing the fronts for the jackets. This is my first major variation from the pattern instructions. Typically, commercial patterns call for only the facing to be interfaced. However in the fusible tailoring technique that I'm trying the whole front of the jacket is interfaced.
