Five months

There is so much to do. And I feel as if I don't have done nothing. I keep finding issues and I am going crazy! I have five months until the con. And my list is just growing. I got the cape made but now I need to fix the front and make the high collar but I have no idea how to make the collar. Which is slowing me down. I posted a thread for help on Cosplay.com, hopefully someone replies and helps me out. Otherwise sewing the bias tape on is proving to be pretty simple and won't cause me any problems.

My to-do list is as of right is...

• Finish the cape 

The circled part is the front corner that I need to cut out. I have the full cape finished but can't do this until I make the collar to make sure the length is correct before cutting the cape.

If you have made this cape before please comment on my thread and help me out!

• Start on the cassock + Scarf

This should be pretty easy. The pattern looks just like it. The only issue is figuring out how to get it to shut without buttons showing. I may make a hidden panel underneath so it hides the closures. 

This will include finding the following...

• Two wide belts
• Combat styled boots
• Gold trim for the scarf
• Red fabric (For the cross details.)

• Seth's dress and matching hat

Again, not too worried about making Seth's dress. I have patterns for her upper sleeves and dress. I'll be making the longer sleeves myself as well as make short bloomers to wear under the skirt. I'm making those without a pattern by using online tutorials. 

I'll need...

• Boot covers (I'm making them.)
• Gold trim, lace, resin gems, fabric paint, green and white fabric.

• Make armor

We have made two of Abel's armor pieces. The collar piece and the long piece that goes under that. Those are being painted and will be attached by Velcro or metal clips. We still must make...

* Four small plates (These will go on Abel's cassock's sleeves.)

*Two plates for Abel's cuffs

* Shoulder pauldron for Abel

*Plate that goes under the pauldron with red lining underneath

*New rosary (if we have time.)

*Shoulder plate with raised bars (Abel)

*Large back piece with four tubes

*Boot armor plates (Maybe.)

*Seth's breastplate 

*Seth's shoulder armor x2

*Armor crown piece for hat

*A shit ton of the arrows for Abel's outfit

I also need to make...

*Resin gems for Seth (Red,blue, green)

*Silicone mold for the arrow clips for Abel

Seth needs a wig and Abel will need another if we make everything and are doing his crusnik wig. My head is spinning. I'll have to start waking up early to sew my butt off. If I can't figure out the cape and no one helps I might just finish up the bias tape and move on to the cassock until I come up with something. I'm still searching for the perfect shade of green fabric for Seth. I might have found some and will get it if I cannot find anything else which I doubt I will be able to do. I'm going to make bloomers for Seth with the extra fabric from the skirt. I may make a cami or slip with it too if I have enough just for comfort during down time in our hotel room. 

So much to do. I'm going insane. I feel like I am doing nothing even through I've been writing a novel and planning and out lining. It's just stressful. Hopefully my fiance gets his butt in gear and starts making more armor pieces. That'll help keep the stress away. That's it for now. I need to go write and paint the two armor pieces we do have. 

Thank you for reading. Please comment on my thread if you have made a Abel cosplay. Thank you!
