Hood

Probably going to go for trial and error here. I'll be altering the fit of the hood before I play around with changing the borders.

Pattern: http://www.fleecefun.com/red-riding-hood-cape-pattern.html

Things I need:
-X' fabric
-Wooden Embroidery Hoop
-Embroidery floss
-Eyelets

Tunic details

Nobody did the flaps on the side of her tunic in the cosplays I saw!! D: I think it adds a lot to her design. I'm going to focus a lot on subtle details, adding some where I see fit. The tiny 3D model is, after all, a simplified version of the real deal.

If you look closely there's an emphasis around the edges of the tunic in the model, so I'll be attempting bias binding(?). (Not sure what the exact terminology is hahah). To make it look more exotic there's going to be a textured trim on the bottom, sleeves and collar. I'm not sure if anyone actually attempted sleeves on her, but it's a nice thing to have if I ever lift my arms up or something. Speaking of the sleeves though, they should be shorter than the mantle of the hood.

I'll be something like this as an undershirt as well. I just need the sleeves short. Lux's is an off-white/natural fabric color, but I might choose brown instead.


Need to buy:
-Trim
-Fabric
