Monk

I have spent the day sewing this grey monk's robe. 

The bottom, sleeves and neck are trimmed with a plain dark grey cotton.

And here is the end effect when added hood with a cowl. 

 

As you can see, the model this time, is the correct size for the garment :-)

Grey and white

My new project to start on today.  This time it's grey woolly fabric intended for my husband's new character.
What is going to be? A monk's robe...

The fabric is a grainy weave of mix of grey and white, which gives it a bit of a rough look.

White canvas, actually it is an unbleached raw canvas fabric, so it is on more of a creamy side of shade.  I shall make an attempt to make a Templar's tabbard from it.  I chose this particular fabric, because it has been prepared for fabric painting as well. This means, that being an outer garment, it shall give an additional rain protection.

Wish me luck! The sewing starting now. Result, to be published :-)

Welcome to my world of fantasy costume

I have finally gathered enough courage to show you what I make.  The idea of creating costume came from the fact, that I am a small person and the world seems not to take notice of those who are 5ft tall and size 6-8... then the imagination started to bug my mind and my darling other half added many of his ideas as well. I also discovered I do have a lot of fun making it... so here I am .

Please note the sizes of the robes are actually large and sleeves should reach just a bit lower than an elbow. Due to my poor photographic skills (according to my loving husband) I had to do for the model... Hopefully soon I shall have a suitably sized model.
