The Green Hero Process Part: 2

I woke up around 10 am today (swedish time) to continue sewing on my Link cosplay. This is also my last day of Christmas break before school starts, not sure if gusta. The recent days I have woken up first around 12-13 pm and I really don´t feel like wasting this last precious day to sleep, when you can get so much done during those hours. So I got my ass up from the bed and started sewing while still having the motivation, so here we go folks.

The sewing process started off with picking up two fabric pieces which is going to be the both sleeves inside linings (had them cut out last time).

I let the pictures explain the process, instead of writing romans.

The lining pieces (4 pieces) that I will attach to the sleeves.

Sewed the pieces together at the ends first, and then around them.

Linings attached to the sleeves with needless. Right side of the fabric.

Sewed with straight stitching (right side) and lining folded to the inside of the sleeve.

Same process repeated to both sleeves. Before I started to sew the sleeve linings in place, mom took the scissors and fixed the lenght of the hem, so that it was even both on the back and front side. When she was done I sewed around the hem with the overlock machine.

Hem sewed with the overlock machine, as seen on the seam.

I took a photo when I had done the straight stitching when I folded the overlock seam to the inside, but the thread colour was so close to the fabric colour and you couldn´t see it clearly in the photo (if at all) so I left that photo behind. The last thing I did today was to cut the small v-formed shirt opening the character has. I started off with cutting it the exact wrong way it should be cut, so rage mom happened all of a sudden and I changed my thoughts immediately. Even if I had already cut a small, small hole. She said I should tell her before I start cutting anything, but I said twice that "I start cutting" and waited several minutes for her to show up, but no wild mom appeared....so I tried it myself and...well, derp.

Luckily there was no further problems with the cut I did, it was easy to just adjust when I cutted again, the way you should do it. Start from above and move downwards. The shape was so-so according to me but I guess I can adjust it late to my liking, I still need the lining for it, that might do it.

The v-formed opening. It´s okay.

Zoom in.

Last but not least say hello to my new friend!

Le overlock machine!

Yes! Today I finally learned how to sew properly with the overlock machine (all progress made today was like practice with it) so it feels really good to be able to handle both the normal sewing machine and now this one! I thank my mom for the handy advices. This one will come to good use in the future, heh.

That was all for today. Next time I do the ribbons to his shirt opening the brown sleeves to his shirt, and maaaybe I start with the bootcovers.

See ya folks, take care!
