Needlework Monday: Lorna Shines Sweater

Happy Needlework Monday everyone,

Today we'll take a little look on the progress with our Lorna Shine Costume, and how I did the sweater,
unfortunately some parts of the costume in Leatherette has been delayed due to unavailability of what I'm currently using, and that I cant work on the changes since I already did finished some parts of the armors.
Hopefully by next week the leatherette that I need becomes available.

To start with, the materials.
We have here size L sweaters, those with a weaved-like texture,
Why Large clothes? Because it easier to adjust with cutting and allowance sinc eyou have a big clothes to work with.
Why not buy a new fabric? Hmmmm, I find it a little practical to buy used but good as new clothes in a thrift shop, you dont have to sew all the way, you just need to cut what you need in them, and for the price? I bought them for $2.

Using my Sleeveless clothes as a pattern to trace in our fabric.
We need the lower hem in here so I have to trace the clothe at the bottom part.

The black on the front I cut in the sleeve of our black sweater, we dont need to cut the body if we only need a small piece. Lets pin it and saw in ZIG-ZAG Stitch.

Unfortunately, the some of the turtle neck to sleeve part has corrupted..
I cut our turtle neck from the upper part of the sleeves since I made the sleeves to 3/4 cut and its a large cloth the upper part of the sleeve could cover the fabric I needed for the turtle neck.

With the sleeves, using curve rulers to cut the 3/4 sleeve starting from the cuff

Then trace on the other side,

And Pin the sleeves to the arm hole, and we are ready to saw.

Heres how it fits, the fabric is very stretchable so it still ok if I wear some B##bs and Bras.
