I realized that we've discussed this a lot, but haven't really had a thread for it.

Here we can discuss our projects we may be working on, costumes we've found interesting, and anything in between.

But it's also for like feedback...cause I'm trying to make another costume, but need some help lol.

I'm a huge fan of Final Fantasy Tactics and always liked a particular unit. It's one that I think doesn't receive enough attention, but is the best all round unit since it can hold it's own.

I've also noticed while searching relentlessly that no one has made a costume of them.

I'm thinking about trying to work with flannel material with it...not entirely sure yet.

What I need to know first of all though is a pattern. I usually can work with something once I have a close enough pattern...but alas I'm having a blank.

Right now I just need a pattern for the blue shirt, nothing else as of yet. What do you think the shirt most closely resembles? Would you consider it a tunic?

Lee, you're asking the wrong person. I have no sense of clothes whatsoever. I usually just pick a costume that has easy identifiable pieces of clothing and just buy it.

if i had to make this costume, i would look for a blue turtle neck. but i know that's not what you're looking for.

That wouldn't cut it though, at least not for me lol. You and I have different perfectionist ideals, I guess these projects are mine heh.

Someone else suggested that, but I think it would look a lot better handmade. A blue turtle neck would just look too tacky once I got around to doing the cape, hat...thing, and everything else.

That's basically what a tunic is. It's the red part of the clothes. The boy's sleeves/shirt are actually under it.

i dont do those kinds of costumes because i know i lack the time/capability.

im not saying just get a turtle neck and you're done. im saying get the turtle neck and alter it. i think altering a turtle neck would be easier than altering a tunic. but, i dont really know to be honest.

No I'm not going to buy a tunic. I just need to know what it looks similar to. Then I can go from there and search for different costume patterns and alter those.

You know, those schematics that they have for different costumes.

Right, I was just asking if you looked at the boy's shirt and the cartoon dude's shirt. Do they look similar in ways or no?

Cool, I just need to find a pattern close to that tunic now. I did find one, but it was only for sale on Ebay, curse my luck. If I was guaranteed a complete pattern packet, I might consider.

But something about Ebay just reeks of shadiness here and then. I don't want to cough up money for some pattern that's already been cut up and is missing pieces. (Patterns are etched on weak paper like tracing paper, and then you have to cut out all the pieces, then lay out the cloth on it, and cut/trace by the pattern) < Just a FYI if you didn't know.

Anyway since it's almost Halloween, this thread can also be about costumes we're thinking about making, using, or going as. Are you doing anything for Halloween by the way?

Aw that's right I forgot...sorry. Well at least you still have some costumes, that's better than none right? Good to hear you can still be Dorothy, you can dress up your cat as Toto :P

Well hope you have them come in and in good condition soon!

Also I got some good information on that one costume I asked you about. Just got to get out to a fabric store and test these materials out.

Still haven't gotten out to get those materials, but things are starting to slow down just a tiny bit with school. (Well that's after my Thursday test) Maybe I'll be able to get out this weekend to find something or just do more researching/experimenting.

Oh when I say it'll die down a bit, I don't mean there won't be tests, exams, or projects to worry about.

Finally got around to searching for materials and patterns for my costume idea. I did that last weekend, but I've been so busy...I haven't had the time for anything really.

Anyway I just got some doubleknit blue material for the shirt, I might use it for the hat to, but I'm focusing on one piece at a time. The shirt will be first. Though the shirt and hat look like different colors in some drawings and then similar in others...I wish they would make up their minds!

I also bought some polyester blue thread and two patterns which I may use. Hopefully they are close enough to the design and I can use them to effectively work with the shirt.
