Costume-Making 101:  Hood Progress

Just  a quick update for tonight, it's late and I'm tired.  A weekend of entertaining a (nearly) three-year-old monster, house-hunting and bad horror films has taken its toll...

So then, first off an update for the hood lining, complete with the extra-intricate double-stitched hems for strength and structure (done by eye, I might add):


And I finally finished cutting all of the pieces for the "shell" of the hood.  It's a dark blue cotton drill, same as the lining, which despite the flash from my camera is actually a rich, deep red.  


And that's not even a particularly complicated hood pattern...  If you've noticed how some pieces look to be copied parts of other pieces, then well done, have a biscuit.  I'll be doubling up some parts of the hood for added structure and detail lines.  

More to come when I start getting the hood assembled; he shape should hopefully start coming together, including the staggeringly well-designed three-part mantel for easier movement.

Oh, and a motivational picture from Ubisoft's website.  You can buy this product.  It's life-size.  And yours for a fiver under £2,000.  House or statue?  Seriously, house or statue..?


Stay tuned for more!
