Face Fashion
I've been working on (if that is the correct turn of phrase) growing myself a 'steampunk' facial hair style. It's nearly there now, and hopefully should look good for Whitby! I can even wax the tips now, which is what I was aiming for!

Coat Part 2 - The Pictures
Sunday 4 October 2009
Coat!
I've spent much of this afternoon sewing a brown cord coat. It was an old coat with a ripped pocket that I haven't worn for a couple of years. I first fixed the pocket, then sewed eight brass rings to the back and created a sort of 'corset style' back, held together with gold rope cord. I created some epaulettes out of felt and gold braid. I also finished the pocket edges with the braid and added some loops of the cord around one arm. I also put some shiny brass buttons on the lapels...
It was quite hard work, as I am hardly the most accomplished at sewing! I still need to find some more brass buttons for the coat, but I'm pretty pleased with it so far...
I'll try and add some photographs tomorrow.
