Hello, I had a question about your reaper costume you made? How much would it cost to commission one from you if you happen to be commissioning? If not, would you be willing to sell me a pattern? I have tried to make a pattern myself and have my friend help me sew it, but that ended up being a waste of fabric. Furthermore, what fabric did you use? That fabric looks great! Did you use interfacing when making it or just lining?
Unfortunately I don’t take commissions, nor do I think I can just digitize the Reaper jacket pattern (should probably start with something more simple, since I’ve never published a pattern before!). I can say that I drafted the Reaper coat first in a stiff cotton from a trench coat pattern. I made sure to create/move around the seam-lines as seen on his game model. The final fabric I used is a soft, medium weight, two-way stretch vinyl-leather that retailed for about $40.00 a meter USD and I cut the patterns on the bias. The jacket is lined with a matte generic suit liner. Various pieces are backed with stiff interfacing, EVA foam and wire. I must also include that we were very careful about the fit of jacket BEFORE moving on to using the final fabric. Soft leather/vinyl fabric will show previous stitching/holes made by machine stitching, so its a cut once, sew once affair. I hope that helps a little.
