Realised today I never actually posted this picture of my costume from #WeeCon last week.
Pictur of a person dressed in Stede Bonnets outfit from the pilot episode of Our Flag Means Death. It is a 18th century turquoise coat & breeches with bronze braiding & buttons. There is a darker turquoise waistcoat underneath. Their legs have white stockings & black heeled shoes with white bows.

Bringing this back from the other place where someone asked about where Ed slept on the Revenge.
Hinged: In a room Stede specifically picked out for him that slowly has more & more fancy things added to it Unhinged: Bunks with a different crew member every night, each of whom is too unnerved by his presence to actually sleep Cat: In the wardrobe on a pile of Stedes clothes

Progress!

Just need to attach the cuffs and frogging, and the coat should be done.

After several weeks off sewing anything, I made the giant cuffs for my Stede cosplay today.

It's #WIPWednesday time!

I last worked on this painting in November, then didn't have either the time or the light to finish it.
Hopefully I'll be done in the next few weeks though!

Worth a thousand words Rickman101 Summary: The crew may think Ed's a monster but Stede knows he's not. The gift under his door proves it.

Another #WIPWednesday and I've moved on to Stede's fancy little shoes.
Two black leather shoes on a paint spattered wooden board. The shoe on the left had a large white bow attached to it. The heels of two black leather shoes from the side. The nearest one is brown rubber & the far one has been painted red. They are placed on a paint spattered wooden board & there is a paintbrush in the foreground with red paint on the tip.

It's done!
The fabric was really hard to work with at times, but I'm really pleased with how it's turned out.
