Members RavenAus Posted August 8, 2014 Members Report Posted August 8, 2014 This is my interpretation of the Game of Thrones Qarth armour worn by Daenerys. This is to my own pattern as I couldn't find a decent one. Getting it modeled soon will post pics when I get em. Made from 2.2mm natural veg-tan leather, hand sewn and laced at the back. Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted August 8, 2014 Members Report Posted August 8, 2014 That is sweet. Quote
Members RavenAus Posted August 9, 2014 Author Members Report Posted August 9, 2014 Thanks Here's a shot of it being modeled by my beautiful stepdaughter Zoe Quote
Members billybopp Posted August 9, 2014 Members Report Posted August 9, 2014 That's awesome Raven! Quote
Members Tinkerton Posted August 9, 2014 Members Report Posted August 9, 2014 I really like how the stitching creates a decorative pattern on it. Great looking piece Quote
Members Sona Posted August 9, 2014 Members Report Posted August 9, 2014 Really nice work!Right now I just wonder why you took that tandy pattern for a corsett if you can make such a nice fitting pattern like this by yourself? Quote
Members billybopp Posted August 9, 2014 Members Report Posted August 9, 2014 BTW .. If anybody out there HASN'T seen Game of Thrones, for us it's worth a look just for the leather work that the costumers have done for it. It's excellent work. Besides that, it's a rip-roaring good story (despite the fact that that damned neck-beard SOB writer George RR Martin kills off favorite characters faster than cattle at a meat plant ), with very good production values.

Members builderofstuff Posted August 9, 2014 Members Report Posted August 9, 2014 Seriously awesome! Chris Quote
Members RavenAus Posted August 9, 2014 Author Members Report Posted August 9, 2014 Thank you everyone! Sona, I had a pattern from the net for this one but when I made it in card it was just awful, so I ended up covering my tailors dummy in card and masking tape and drawing the design on that As you can see, it took some shaping to get the bust right, it was flat as a board when I finished sewing it, but my other shop display mannequin had the shape needed and didn't threaten to break when I wetformed on it Quote
Members Sona Posted August 9, 2014 Members Report Posted August 9, 2014 HahahaWell,I think you know that that sort of busts NEED to be shaped, otherwise they´re more like pyramids, etc which looks awful. And you did the same on the tandypattern, right?I think the main point is, that you didn´t just "do" the tandypattern, you saw that you need to modify it and you did. Same here! If you notice the mistakes in a pattern before cutting, stitching, etc. than you start to become a feeling for how it will turn out and that´s the point. Even if it was flat right after stitching, it isn´t anymore... so... you did a great job on here XD Quote
