cosplay to-do list bc tumblr is my accountability partner 🩷

this weekend???

make Jedi robes x2 ✅

mock up pattern for vest ✅ may still do this just bc if I fuck up I'd have to dye more fabric which I REALLY don't want to do

modify pattern for shirt✅

mock up pattern for undershirt ☑️ after making 2 shirt muslins I no longer feel the need to do this since it's basically the same garment sans sleeves

go to [local fabric store] to source fabric for present-day indara vest + collar + belts ❌ haven't made it there yet and they're closed Sundays :'(

go to joann to get more fabric dye + pattern for present indara vest???✅ Joann was out of dye in the shade I needed but I found fabric in an acceptable color instead

dye fabric for flashback indara shirt✅ no longer necessary thank goodness

this week

hem robes ❌ gonna wait to do this until the rest of the costume is finished to judge length better

SHE FOUND ME!!!

[gil-estel]

I have a shirt! (and footsies)

collar still needs to be stitched down by hand, but otherwise it's all done!

fabric is joann's happy value unbleached linen and pattern is modified from McCall's M7525 which very sadly seems to be out of print :'(

@mysandwichgiver and I won judges' choice at the star wars costume contest??????

[gil-estel]

I have a tabard! (a word I completely forgot existed until just now..... )

this fabric is the one I had to dye! its a rayon/linen blend from joann dyed with rit dye. I didn't use a pattern, just sewed together 3 big rectangles based on my measurements.

all I have left to make for this costume is the belt; everything else that's left is for @mysandwichgiver 's present-day indara

[gil-estel]

the belt really makes the costume!!
