Almost Done With the Costume

Well, all I have left to do is add in a couple of snaps for stability and my Halloween costume, the Jedi get-up, will be finished, but I'm saving them for tomorrow (or technically, later today). I just finished the belt and tabbards finally, thanks to Sarrah and Nicole the Knitter loaning me a Shark Euro-Pro sewing machine.

Pictures to come later, but I'm pretty happy with how they turned out but they were a BITCH to work on! For stability in the belt. I used some InnerFuse, double sided stiff fusible interfacing. It didn't "stick" quite like I thought it would, but it still worked. I almost wished I had more of it to put in the shoulder areas of the tabbards, but for those, I used Heat N Bond Lite. (This was the same stuff I used in the collar of the tunic).

I wanted to get some brown flannel or wool this weekend to whip out a (most likely not) quick Jedi robe to go with the tunic and pants, but I'm not going to push my luck. The Shark Euro-Pro only does one stitch and one length of stitch. It doesn't even go backwards to better secure the end of a hem, so I'm going to leave it as is.
