I forgot how much I hate hand sewing
This cosplay is gonna be fucking LEGIT though
This is the strips only pinned, none on the collar or sleeves yet.
This has been the process up until the hand sewing of the strips. Altered patterns, mistakes, and joy
Some good progress shots :) I hate this fuckin thing but I feel Powerful in it. Time to try and lace the sleeve cuffs up and add some strips to the sleeves as well
Why are his sleeves like that tho. Like, what was this design. Was there a use? Was there a deeper meaning? All this lacing.... fuck you. FUCK you.
My fingers hurt. I've just finished putting the eyelets on the turned up parts of the sleeves, 24 in all, and repeatedly stabbed myself with pins while placing the "leather." Can't wait to be shot of this thing

and then wear it nonstop for a week.
Absolutely I've taken the whole day to cut 3 2cm wide strips of this vinyl stuff, pin all the strips to the sleeves, and sew one (1) piece to a shoulder. My fingers hurt from all the other sewing
Just realised I never updated this thread with the mostly finished jacket & half finished outfit. Still waiting on better studs+spikes to apply to the leather strips & shoulders, & am currently working on tartan pants to practice before I make (& alter) some for Eskel
