Assuming it’s the same Glamoured to Life event this year, my costume lineup will likely be Sphene and G’raha! My goal will be finishing my props so I can finally get nice photos of both.

Kyle will bring Thancred for sure, and maybe we’ll figure out another casual Dark Knight or NPC outfit.

Forced break time!

I am taking my fancy machine in to get serviced (nothing wrong but it’s been a while). Nice is wearable, and I have a good month or so before I need to have the optional armor done.

Going to catch up on some reading this week.

I’m so tired I forgot to attach the cape pics.

Ban-Rol helped stabilize my hems so they wouldn’t stretch out while sewing.

Cape is sewn. Back design drawn on heat n bond. I was in the zone, but I drew it on the floor and now my back and knees have regrets.

Sometimes I feel like my art degree wasn’t a complete waste.

Just finished putting in the last pieces of Velcro + hook and bar closures. If I like it without makeup then I will love it when I do have makeup 😂

Rest of my day will be cape, which I do think I can knock out this weekend.

I want something lightweight for the cape, so I’m using this stretch twill I also obtained in JoAnn liquidation. It’s not as stiff/heavy as regular twill, and it’s a “cool” white like the hex (they look warm on the right but that is the same fabric in the left pic). Matching white fabrics are a pain

Reference dump because they’re getting a bit buried on my phone

The close-up was captured by Yaya earlier this year to show the suit fabric does indeed have a subtle hex pattern! Friends helped me get enough white scuba hex from JoAnn Liquidation before I started on it.

Made the belt yesterday. The gold is sewn like bias tape but with foam inserted in for more dimension.

Nice’s jacket is complete 🙏🏻

I hope to finish the belt and cape over the weekend, and then I plan to take a break before I make the collar armor and bracers.

Been making small bits of progress on Nice over the past week. The gem took two attempts, but I’m happy I took the time to perfect it.

It’s a vinyl cut-out that is placed on top of a 1st pour while mostly cured but still tacky. Second pour includes glitter, and it has a glitter vinyl backing.

My goal today was to just finish a mock-up, but the jacket is more than half done lmao

Combining two Yaya patterns for the jacket mockup
