The cape is what I'm starting on first. It's pretty simple. I just need to modify the pattern to create the slits on the sides and back. Which shouldn't be too hard. I'm more worried about getting the bias tape on nicely around the sharp square corners on the top. Hopefully I can figure that out.
I'm also worried about the high collar. I will have to make up a pattern on my own. I plan on using firm interfacing to keep the collar folded nicely. I don't want it flopping down. So hopefully having the interfacing helps keep it up.
After the cape I will work on the cassock. I'll need to modify this pattern as well. There will need to be a slit in the back and on the sides I believe. Otherwise it's perfect. Slits are very easy to make. I can make them on the seam line. Abel's outfit is rather easy besides all the armor pieces. I've decided we'll make a mold with silicone for the arrow pieces since there will be so many of them.
We have the armor plates for his cuffs (Shown in the picture. Bottom right.) ready to be molded with Wonderflex. We'll do that later though. Today I need to focus on sewing since I haven't sewn in a while thanks to that bias tape maker. I'm behind on schedule. And if I want to get Abel and Seth and their wings done on time I gotta hurry my butt up.
I have so much planned for these costumes so I need to work hard on them. As with Seth's underskirt (Which I sort of want to remake the train now.) I want to try and make it as neat and clean as possible. So this will be an adventure. So I'm going to try my hardest and work nonstop.
I'll be updating with pictures whenever I get new batteries. It may be a while.
I'm also writing up my list of supplies. I'll post that once it's finished.
