Finally Updating!

After a long break due to life issues, I'm finally back to updating the site!

Converting Sleeves to Facings

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.

Continuing the Jumpsuit

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

Garnet's Jumpsuit-Planning

Had a request from a friend for the jumpsuit version of Garnet from Final Fantasy. This series of posts will cover the process of designing and sewing the jumpsuit from start to finish.

Site Move In Progress

I'm currently working on moving the site to the new design and CMS engine. I've began copying some of the posts over and more will follow throughout the week. Once it's done I'll have a lot easier system in place for updates and should be able to actually post more instead of fighting the site!

Pants Pockets

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

Starting the Pants-Cutting

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

Fabric Shopping!

Well I had a busy weekend and took not just one but two trips to Chicago to look for fabric for upcoming projects.

Dalian's Necklace: Creating the Basic Form

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

Interfacing the Fronts

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.
