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.

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.

The first step of coat construction is to select a good pattern and fabric to match the character. Although this is a remake of an existing costume, I'm going to cover the logic that went into the pattern selection for the first coat. I will also cover the fabric selection process with insignt into both the first and second pattern selection.

After finding several things I disliked about the jacket I made for Rei. I have decided to remake it out of a friendlier fabric.
