Foxox tumbls stuff

Practicing machine appliqué before I go putting things onto my friend’s halloween costume. The blanket stitch look is kind of a hack… it’s actually a stretch fabric overlock stitch but that’s the closest thing my machine can do. I kept getting thread nests under the satin stitches so I cleaned out my bobbin/hook/race area and now it seems to be acting better. I don’t know where I put the machine oil…

Tanto (or was it Tonto?) the pony! My first time ever on a horse!

Sharing a house with 8 other male college students...

oh my

Best pic I have so far of my MGS2 Solid Snake costume

I will upload pictures when I get them from people who brought cameras

Vest rear paracord closure and shirt grommets done! I still have to finalize the sizes of some straps and install buckles, velcro the kneepads, make the elbow pads, make the forehead bandana wrap thing, and if I have time, make more mag pouches. I bought a finished leg holster to save time there, so that’s done too. One of my housemates gave me a pretty funny mullet wig that I can use, but I have to check with him if I can trim it; it’s a little long in the back. I will be using my motorcycle gloves and boots since they’re pretty close matches so those are ready to go too. itshappening.gif … but sleep first. Goodnight!

Knee pad covers done except for adding some velcro to close them. Hoping that is enough to keep them secure… might have to make one more Joann run for elastic material if not…

This thing is finally starting to come together… so many straps and loops and grommets yet to go though! I have under 24 hours now to get this done!

I think it might be about time to sleep. I ran out of thread! I’m starting to worry I won’t get this all done in time =o

I just realized I needed to sew on the buckle before closing up the side of each pouch... time to get out the seam ripper :B

Pattern development for some pouches. About to cut this out and test it. I may have to make adjustments later, not sure this will work
