ahem, hint.
*Cough* Costume Discussion Thread *cough*
P.S. - I ain't helpin', but do you have the graphic you used for the iron on? And what kind of paper did you use to do so with?
Hmmm Kwally is already making an organized thread, why cant we just use this for discussion (I have this page bookmarked and its easy to get to).
Also, If you do have more info on the pattern and the type of iron on paper used I would be interested.
I know that some would rather I post this on a different thread, but the truth is... This is the only thread I pay attention to. Other than the shirt, most of my costume is either finished or in the works. So, checking out and posting on other threads is really of little use to me. Sorry.
However, I hope that I make up for my indiscretions by posting very helpful and relevant Joker related costuming ideas that help anyone that may be in need...
I am grateful for all the help that I have gotten on the shirt for this costume and in return I hope that I can help anyone here on any other areas of the outfit that I have finished...
All of that aside, I would like to answer a few questions about my suspenders (braces)...
The original set was bought from a local Men's Warehouse. They are a light silver/grey to begin with and 100% silk.
Unfortunately, I do not have the budget necessary to get these embroidered with the green diamond pattern like the real deal. Maybe in the future...
Anyway, I fashioned the pattern myself using the few screen shots that exist.
I do not have "vectoring" experience like Seriana, but I know a little bit about Photoshop. I used the program to color match the green diamond pattern from the screen shots.
Once the pattern was finished. I made a side by side 5-up on an 8.5x11 sheet that could later be printed onto the iron-ons.
I used Tailor brand "Soft 'n Stretchy" iron-ons.
It is a little bit of a pain to make sure they are lined up from one iron-on to the next, but as you can see it is well worth the effort.
I do not plan to make these for sale. Sorry, but that just isn't who I am. I like helping others to make their own. I guess that is the teacher in me...
I cannot post the file I made, for fear it will just get ripped off. I hate when people do that.
However, I am always happy to answer any questions that may be useful...
I love my hobby and those that share my enthusiasm. :cheers
