Comic Con Coat

This is the first in a series of 3 posts of my craftiness that I did for SDCC just because I don't want to overwhelm you with pictures all in one go! I won't be posting any photos from the con because...well...my camera wasn't working that weekend much to my dismay. But! On to the awesomeness!

 Testing my costume. It isn't complete since it's missing the top hat & jewelry I made as well the coat being unfinished.

 The entire front where you can see the lapel & part of the pocket designs.

The back of the coat

All of the machine embroideries came from Urban Threads one of my ALL TIME favorites. You'll notice this very much as more posts appear that contain machine embroidery. The embroideries were done on tulle, then the edges CAREFULLY melted & sewn onto the coat.

Friday is the next post in this series! I swear it'll be up (I have it scheduled to post!) so no worries there. I'm so sorry my pretties that I've been so remiss. I got so busy getting ready for SDCC that I abandoned you! Then when I got back it took me awhile to put everything away (I um...actually just finished doing that yesterday...) as well as visiting my Grammie & dealing with some personal stuff. So please forgive me, I still love you all!
