WiP - Jasdavi Pt 2 - Pants & Boots

Mainly boots. I had plans for the boots, as they have a very interesting pattern and well I like a challenge ...

you will learn I did not like this challenge.

I made the pants with leftover fabrics from Crown Clown and it's basically how I make thights and just added a middle seam. They were finished in 5 minutes.

Nothing I can say about the boots.

The pattern was a quick job but the decorations? I tried sculpting it onto the fabric but the foam clay didn't stick. Then I thought about sewing on ribbon but that was ... not great either. Then stitching which looked weird too. I decided to paint it. After testing a bunch of colors.

Well what can I say? I felt this wasn't going to be it. I somehow was very anxious regarding the boots right from the start and at this point I was going to give up.

It looked just so darn tacky and not like I wanted it to look. I even ordered different boots as a solution.

In the end I decided to take a nap.

After that I tried to stick on Foam Clay to the paint and it ... worked? It sticked to it!! Was even hard to be removed again.

Motvated I decided to add the sole and work further on the boots. They took form.

And then I wanted to attach the Foam Clay and .... it didn't stick. Nowhere. I have no idea why it worked just 1 hour prior q_q

I ended up painting a border around the decoration I had painted already, which made it a bit better. Still I am not sure if I like them, maybe with the coat later on.

To say that I am a bit anxious regarding the coat too as I decided to order a specific fabric that I thought would fit the aesthetics from the 2000s greatly but I wanted to make the pants from a black fabric like that which I had in the stash for a few years and it's super brittle I had to throw it away.

The one I ordered is more flexible and durable so I hope it will perform better.

Anyways here is Jasdevi in how he has to sit here until I have the fabric to continue. And of course there will be a lot of paint involved regarding the face up, I am not yet sure of the color I want I think I will truly go with a gray, maybe with some undertones, I have enough practise to mix it from Alastor. So.

Hope December will not eat me as much as I fear and this poor doll will not wait too long.

Measurements to 3-D Boots: How It's Done!

From measurements written respecting a fat part of paper versus a 3-D boot that fits like a cestus! That really is capacity of the 'art' as to bootmaking!For years rather I was younger, MY HUMBLE SELF wondered only too how a boot apprentice could make a replace that attack you perfectly abreast well-expressed taking a few measurements. I've actually talked with a custom bootmaker, Miguel Jones in transit to find superannuate.Basically, when regulation a pair in relation to especially boots, Miguel's website (www.custom-boots.net) requests a number in relation to measurements including measurements around the foot and leg, the ankle measurements in two ways, measurements of the length of the footslog and more. The customer supplies these measurements and the 'magic' and art fall to.Miguel and his staff take the measurements you provide and head up paper patterns of all the parts of a boot. These flat periodical patterns are then ablated to cut the leather needed for construct a custom made ejection. Whether it be a cowboy shove, for which Miguel is most known, auric an engineer style bang or any other style, the behavior is the same.The paper patterns, once cut, are then re-checked against the measurements alterum provided to compass about that they hear of been properly cut. At this point, if anything is not quite pillory, themselves will contact you in passage to re-check all the numbers and your measurements.Assuming that everything is well-put, the paper patterns are used so the guides on route to cutting the leather for your boots, as overwhelm as insofar as one bushing in the hole in your boots if you taste topping to have lined boots.An important part as to the 'art' of boot making is here... in actually putting these pieces of still flat leather attuned in a 3-D shape that becomes a tingling. Boots are made 'inside out' observably but I'll have more on that in another article. Allowing a bit of lagniappe interspace or seam allowance, the individual pieces of kid are sewn together, again 'inside out', creating the smooth, flat seams of the boot that them see later.All sewn together in the proper ordinance, what oneself would synod 'sort of' looks like the custom boot you ordered, except that it's intestine out. Your perfect desirable, 3-D boots, created from tenement pieces of leather and connected together to scroll a custom boot. Amazing!Of course, there are unequal other companion involved advanced making a pair on boots and I'll have greater and greater on those steps in unassociated articles.
