Street Fighter III Yun Lee Created May 2006 Items Made: Tunic Not much to say on this one.  Just a simple front closing tunic with some piping detail around the collar.  The coolest thing is the frog closures.  I made these as fake frogs.  They actually are one piece that snap in place with hidden snaps.  The tunic is made from twill microsuede and the yellow braided trim was hand dyed.   Oh, and this was the first commission I ever took on!!

  Magna Carta: Tears of Blood Reith/Risuu Created December 2006 Items Made: Top, Skirt. This costume was challenge and a prime example of how animators defy the laws of physics and how costumers have to work around that. I also made this while on the road and without access to my shop and and any of my tools except a basic sewing machine... it turned out okay, considering. I like the flannel back jacquard I used for the yellow and the printed cotton I used for the skirt.   

  KINGDOM HEARTS 2 Roxas Completed Oct. 2010 Items Made: Jacket This jacket started with a hoodie pattern from Burda that I found and have used several times now.  I went with a simple twill microsuede for the fabric.  Kingdom Hearts costumes are all about detail, so I threw every trick I had into this one.   There's piping running around the jacket under the black checker pattern that was screen printed--kinda--around the upper bodice.  Actually, to get the pattern on there I tried to embroider it but I couldn't get the pattern to run properly, so instead I ended up taping off the design with masking tape and brushing the paint on with a brush. Each row of squares had to be done individually.  It was a pain, but it turned out awesome--don't ask how many failed attempts there were due to impatience and smudged paint.  The sleeves are lined with plain black cotton so the black band from the reference pic could be achie...

Fable Guild Apprentice In Progress -- This costume was never finished originally, however I have since added elements to it, but it's still not complete. Items Made: Hooded Cloak, Gloves, Scarf, Trousers. The cloak is made of hopsack linen. The sleeves were tea stained for contrast. The gloves/handwraps and scarf are made from a heavy, textured upholstery. I later embroidered runes over the blue detail with embroidery floss. I also did a slight bit of distressing that you may be able to see in the newest pics. Someday, I might finish this costume.... maybe for renfaire next year.     Update: Recently I had an event at work which I needed a costume fitting for John Flanagan's "Ranger's Apprentice" series. I pulled this out of storage, and added some boots and a pair of trousers I wear for renfaire and now it looks like it's done... even though it isn't. (Ignore my name tag in these! Haha!)
