Belt and Tunic ordered!

Today I ordered my belt! Shouldn't be long before I have my first fully completed costume piece!

Scrapped the Hat

Ok, so it looks to me like the hat is gonna be a bit large. I've scrapped it without attempting the liner. Went and bought more fabric today. I'm hoping the next size down on the pattern will be good...

Change of mind on the Tunic

I've decided to order my tunic instead of altering the pattern to make one. It seems like (without doing any actual math) it will be cheaper in the long run to just order it. Only time will tell, I might be kicking myself for this later...

Imperial Hats!

Last night I (should read "my wife") sat down at the sewing machine and did some work.

The visor on the hat was the hardest part. Here's the second attempt (the first ended badly...)

And now with the visor attached.

Still need to do the inner lining, but I think it's looking good!

Cuttin' it Up

Got the pattern cut out and ready to sew! Hopefully in the next day or two I can talk the wife into sewing!

Step One

Today I picked up the fabric for my Imperial hat as well as the McCall's pattern for the tunic. The store didn't have the right fabric for the tunic so I'll have to drag the wife out again in the next day or two.

And it begins...

Today I joined the forums for the Imperial Officer Corps. on the 501st website. I also joined the Florida Garrison site. Looking to make an Imperial Security Bureau costume to start. So this blog will detail that build, as well as anything else down the line.

Here's a screen shot of the ISB uniform!
