Skyrim - Nightingale armor #4

Wohuuh! two posts in under a month I feel so productive!^3^

 

So today I went and worked a bit on the back, something which I have been dreading for a while because I simply couldn't find a good reference picture with the cape always being in the way!X_x But then as I was starting consider just winging it I remembered the in game item viewer and after I stopped hitting my head against the desk feeling stupid I got to work^^0

So I used one of my vests as model and came up with this piece. The first of many funky pieces I've cut out and sewn together today^^0

 I'm leaving the upper back and neckpiece open for now. I'm still concidering weather or not I'm using Velcro, pushbuttons or something completely different to close it, so for now we're working downwards:)

 Which brings us to funky piece #2 and the return of needlesX_X

 Needles is such  a great tool... as long as they stay in the fabric and away from my poor fingersQ_Q

 Funky piece #3 This was by far the most complicated piece to make and fit into place, and it' twice as important because this is the piece connecting the front with back, so without further ado, I present to you.

Skyrim - Nightingale armor #3

 I'm BAAAACK!!!XDD

Ehem...Hi all^^0 So to explain my more than three months absence I can only say that moving is a bitch and after several months mostly living in a trailer you start to appreciate the little things in life like indoor plumbing, radiators and freaking INTERNET!X_X

Anyway! I'm very happy about my new apartment(more like room with kitchen, but oh wellxP) and university is a blast with amazing people and lectures which has kept me busy, but NOW I actually managed to sit down in peace and start sewing again:D

 

So to begin with explaining what I've done, I've got to admit... I have very little idea^^0 I can't just sew the top armor as a shirt because of the many straps and other details, so I'm simply just starting from the neck and then working down slowly until hopefully I have a front piece that can be fastened to a back piece.

So I tried making the pattern with paper and while it took a few tries before it fit correctly it paid out in the end when I had to do it again with the fake leather.

 

(Lots of needles again but thankfully not as many as the last time!)

Aaaand that's it! It doesn't look like much but it took awfully long time to make^^0 Hopefully next time I can work a bit on the back so I can actually put it on, but until then.

Bye~
