Cloud Progress
I am making advances in Cloud's clothing. No buttcape yet but I do have his shoulder-guard done!
In all honesty it was a bit of a bitch because it's two layers, the upper which is genuine leather (a piece that I have had in storage ever since those saiyan plushie ambitions I mentioned in my last post) while the under (there to hold two snap-fasteners so the stitching to hold them does not come through the upper) is normal woven fabric. The process of sewing them together was... painful. Next Cloud I make I am getting craft glue for the shoulder-guard. For that matter I'm getting glue for Sephi's shoulder-guards, they're going to be vinyl!
The Fenrir badge-thingie is just a knot of silver ribbon sewn onto the guard right over where the ribbon-strap is attached. There's another fastener underneath besides the strap one, it will be for the loose sleeve (fully detachable! Yey!).
I am having second thoughts about tacking Vincent's boots on, I may unpick the tacking, attack the raw edges of the boots with nail polish (to try and guard against further fraying) and keep them removable (all the better for doll-porn my dear!).
Meanwhile I have another silly photo I took last night...
Aren't they cute all snuggled up in bed? ^_^
