cosplay outfits

Well, the cosplay outfits for Full metal alchemist are finally complete.  It took me four and half days in working hours to complete the two outfits of Mustang and Hawkeye.  I would have liked nicer stars for on the epilets but sometimes you have to go with what you can find.

Hopefully I won't have to make any adjustments to the outfits and they'll be off my plate.  On to the next project! *whooshes away with the super cape flapping in the wind!*

New blog, new beginning

I'm beginning this blog to specifically chart my projects in sewing, weaving, dying, spinning and the like.  Most of the projects will relate to the medieval re-creation but not all.  I hope you enjoy watching the progress of some of my more ridiculously sized projects.  If you're going to do something you might as well go all the way and make it big, right?
At the moment I'm working on some cosplay outfits from commission and I'll post pics when that's done.  I'm still weaving away a broken diamond twill on my warp weighted loom and that will be for an arts and science competition at the beginning of May.  I have a woolen A-Frame tent that I'm hand stitching that I need to pick back up.  My knitted Eleanora di Toledo stockings are slowly making progress.  I just got my hands on a four-shaft floor loom and as soon as the twill is done on my warp-weighted, I'm going to try setting up the floor loom.  I have a couple of techniques of tablet weaving that I've set up but haven't tried yet.  Hand stitching an early Irish leinne that I will be embroidering.  There are quite a few more projects in the brain but that's a good starter for now.
