Endor Leia

Nov 11, 2012 09:06

So this weekend I've really started on the Endor Leia. I'm hoping to have the briefing version of the costume done for the sci-fi con first weekend in December. I decided to go go for the Leia instead of the trooper because I feel that eventhough Leia involves more sewing that's something I have control over, I know how to do it and how much time it takes. With the trooper I have a lot of things to figure out first, and painting and stuff that I'm not too fond of.

Anyway yesterday I started with the shirt. (the pic is crappy apparently I have my camera at work so I had to use my phone)



I've never made a shirt before so I'm quite happy with the result, except for the setting of the sleeves but that's going to be under the vest anyway. The fit is bad because it sits on my sister's dressform and she's an XS compared to my L. I still need to hem it but I want to wait until I've finished the pants and can see if I can cut off some more fabric at the bottom. I also need to add snaps, I didn't have any at home.

I'm hoping to get most of the pants done today, but my mother has said that she wants me to come over to her place so we'll see.
