![]() I agonized over them for a while, because I wanted to be able to use my fingers while at the convention but didn’t want to use body paint on my hands. I purchased some ‘arm tights’ (don’t know what else to call them) off ebay and dyed them green (it turned out a much brighter green than I wanted but oh well). I also used an old pocket watch I had from my Claire’s obsessed days. I bought two belts from Primark and used a medieval looking coin pouch I already had and looped it through the belts (I stuffed it with buttons and some of the trial gems for my Sakura staff). I had a grey shirt in my wardrobe that I decided would work. Nott’s costume also has a lot of accessories. I decorated the hem with some embroidery thread in a simple running stitch. It closed at the side with a hook and eye. I used the bag method to line it with the pants fabric – I can also wear it in reverse if I want. ![]() I draped it on my dressform with an asymmetrical shape, then cut it out of the grey fabric. It kind of reminded me of an archer’s shoulder guard kind of thing when it was done. I didn’t have the brain power to find a way to incorporate it into the cardigan/cloak thing (though I think that’s what it’s meant to be like), so I drafted it as a separate piece. ![]() ![]() Last sewing bit, was the drapey bit that goes over her shoulder. I then sewed it onto the top of the pants, then folded it back, so that the ironed edge was on the inside and I handsewed it in place. I had some of the same crotch problems as with Milo, so I had to make a few round of adjustments by fixing the curve and taking it in. ![]() I inserted a zipper on the side and it was done! Or so I thought. Inner edge was finished by hand with a whipstitch.Īnd I finished the top edge with a simple waistband (that matched the pleated measurement! not the cut measurement). ![]()
