About a week or two ago, I finished the hat, and I recently trimmed the wig. The base hat was this GI Cap in white. I started by cover the bill with brown fabric, leaving a small white trim at the edges. I used liquid stitch to get it on.
Using brown and white fabric, I started constructing the cover for it. (It’s not attached to the hat yet.)
Shiki’s costume is almost done! Since last update, I finished her pouch and hat. Her wig also came in, which I need to trim. I still need to take pictures of the hat, but here are pictures of the pouch!
This is before I closed the top, which I decided to do with bias tape. I kind of made the fabric too stiff and had a hard time sewing the top close by folding it. This basically took 3 rectangles. One for the back. One for the front, where I cut out a chunk of it, then I sewed in the other rectangle to fill the space back in. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a silver zipper on brown, so I had to use black.
I also lined the edges of the straps with bias tape. I’m going to go back and trim the ends off later. Both ends of the strap have button holes, so it can be taken off at either end.
Here is a look at how long the strap is.
Next time I’ll post pictures of her hat and wig!
I finished up Shiki’s jacket. I did end up adjusting the arm holes a little to make them bigger. I had to take apart the sides to do that.
I also added the hood. I traced the hood of one of my hoodie jackets to get the pattern. The left is the lining for the inside. The right is the outside part.
When I sewed them together, I only did it on the outside edge. I then placed the draw string inside and sewed right outside of it so it’d form a little tube to stay in.
The only thing left was to sew the hood onto the jacket. And here it is, Shiki’s jacket, finished!
