Sewing canvas belts

I've been sewing canvas belts for me and my lbf! They turned out really nice. :)


Cutting the fabric with a special ruler and a rotary blade


Sewing the edge on the overlock machine

Still working

I'm still working on my trooper armour, sanding and polishing my pieces to make them ready for glueing. I'll try to make my ANH strips today with a cutter at school, and I'm really curious if it'll work!

I got my boots yesterday, and they fit me really well. It's the ones I have posted pics of earlier. :)

My dear Canon 450D is currently at the camera hospital, and my old Olympus is kind of not feeling well, so the pics will be limited for a short period.

I have a stormtrooper in my house!

My lbf is done! I'm so proud of him! 

Take a look at his blog http://tkloriand.blogspot.com/ to see pictures!

Oh my, I'm ready to glue something!

The first forearm is ready for glue! This is exciting! The modelling iron I bought is working well, though I may have to turn the temperature down a bit, I think it can go smoother if I lower it to about 180°C. 

I have again faith in this project!

Modelling iron ordered!

With good help from a Trooper in NG, I finally found a modelling iron! I hope it's shipped today, maybe then I'll have it on monday! :)

Fitting the forearms

Now to the more difficult parts! 

The forearms needs to be trimmed, as they are way too big for me. I have to take off some of the lenght, but I'm not sure how much. I also have to consider if I should take off some off the width. 

This is how is looks at the moment:

Main torso done!

My main torso piece is done, now I need to sand and polish the buttons for it. :)

Both shoulders done :)

Another post about shoulders, hehe. This time both are finished! :)

One shoulder done

One of the shoulder pieces is done, and the other is not. I hope you can tell the difference! ;)

Gloves

I have bought gloves! I did it a couple of days ago, but forgot to blog them. I hope they'll get approved, if not I have a nice set of winter gloves for cold days. ;) They are made of leather, and have no unnecessary seams. :)
