Ok we did all the squares now!!! Oh dear what a game it was LOL. (im trying hard not to curse here LOL) I still need to seal them but thats it now *cheer*
Im just dying my lace now.
Also if anyone is doing a bit of a darker costume i found some awesome leather dye aerosol cans. I did all of the backs with the can and they actually look a really nice color. Not sure if you can get them in the states but they are called Magix Color and i got mine in Lavender.
Dude I'd do it sooner rather than later. Me and Becky have fallen out on this lots of times. LOL. If you energy for this costume wavers it's best to have done this baby and have it out of the way.
192 squares 768 holes, loads of possible errors
Very fiddly thing but also one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Can't wait to see it finished.
i hear ya john....having trouble getting my strips from my leather guy who is also making my hoslter...if i dont have the strips by the time i go to tandy to get the pigskin for the belt and vest...ill be grabbing a hide to make the squares then...
The squares look great BTW!! Now comes the fun lacing part...
JDFett: Yep... get it over with or you'll be a bad example like me... 3/4 of a skirt done and ready to go, oh about 2 years ago. :facepalm Then real life hits you and you don't make much progress for a while...
Oh, that must be Cris. The only place I frequent is here and our garrison board, for precisely that reason - too many boards! And apparently not enough user names
Becky isn't coming over to CIV Yvonne so it'll have to be CE.
Hopefully though, she'll get it done before then and troop in it at least one or twice. Otherwise I think I'll have a tough job taking a photo of a happy bouncing Zammer that won't keep still
