Pahoittelut pitk\u00e4st\u00e4 radiohiljaisuudesta. Se on johtunut l\u00e4hes yksinomaan siit\u00e4, ett\u00e4 olen viimeisen v\u00e4h\u00e4n reilun kuukauden ajan k\u00e4ytt\u00e4nyt l\u00e4hes kaiken liikenev\u00e4n vapaa-ajan ompeluun. Koska olemme is\u00e4nn\u00e4n kanssa jokseenkin lapsenmielisi\u00e4 n\u00f6rttej\u00e4, niin meist\u00e4 on hauska pukeutua kaikenlaisiin hassuihin vermeisiin. T\u00e4ll\u00e4 kertaa teemana oli T\u00e4htien sota ja tavoitteena Arctic Lights Comic Con-tapahtuma Helsingin Messukeskuksessa. Asut valmistuivat kuin valmistuivatkin ajoissa, ja uskokaa tai \u00e4lk\u00e4\u00e4, junamatkalla ei tarvinnut ommella yht\u00e4\u00e4n! En tii\u00e4, oon vissiin kipee tai jotain, mutta t\u00e4llainen ihme tosiaan p\u00e4\u00e4si k\u00e4ym\u00e4\u00e4n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is\u00e4nn\u00e4n Count Dooku\/Darth Tyranus-asuun k\u00e4ytin itse piirt\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4ni vintage-ratsastushousujen kaavaa, Etsyst\u00e4 ostettua Imperial Officer uniform-tunikan kaavaa ja itse piirt\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4ni viitan kaavaa. Oman Jedi-asuni kaavoina k\u00e4ytin hyvin simppeli\u00e4 itse kaavoittamaani kimonon kaavaa ja vanhoja housujeni kaavoja istuvuusmuutoksin. Is\u00e4nn\u00e4n asun valmistukseen meni l\u00e4hes kuukausi, omani valmistui noin kolmessa – nelj\u00e4ss\u00e4 p\u00e4iv\u00e4ss\u00e4. Etenkin is\u00e4nn\u00e4n asu sai paljon kiitosta, mutta olin eritt\u00e4in tyytyv\u00e4inen my\u00f6s omaan asuuni, etenkin kun sen valmistamiseen ei ollut kovin paljoa aikaa. Onneksi kyse oli hyvin simppelist\u00e4 asusta, toisin kuin is\u00e4nn\u00e4n asu. Kaikenlaisia takaiskujakin koettiin, kuten mm. maali joka ei soveltunut 3D-tulostetulle koristesoljille sek\u00e4 kasviparkittu nahka johon nahkav\u00e4ri ei tarttunut. Lopulta kuitenkin ongelmista p\u00e4\u00e4stiin yli ja asutkin aikanaan valmistuivat. Nyt muistin miksi pid\u00e4n ompelusta niin paljon, mutta ehk\u00e4 ompelu ty\u00f6ksi ei kuitenkaan ole mun juttu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Itse tapahtuma oli pienimuotoisempi kuin viime vuotinen Heroes Comic Con, mutta todella kivaa meill\u00e4 silti oli. N\u00e4htiin v\u00e4h\u00e4n kansainv\u00e4lisi\u00e4 t\u00e4htivieraita, nautittiin tunnelmasta, ihailtiin ihmisten todella upeita cosplay-asuja, tavattiin paljon ihmisi\u00e4 ja jutusteltiin niit\u00e4 n\u00e4it\u00e4 n\u00f6rttijuttuja. Ensi vuonna uudestaan?<\/p>\n\n\n

Apologies for long absence. It has been almost completely due to the fact, that past just over a month I have been spending almost all of my free time sewing. Because I and hubby are quite childish geeks, we love to dress up in all sorts of fun outfits. This time our theme was Star Wars and our goal was to attend the Arctic Lights Comic Con in Messukeskus, Helsinki. Outfits were finished just in time and believe it or not, I didn’t even have to do any sewing in the train! Dunno, perhaps I am ill or something, but this miracle happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hubby’s Count Dooku\/Darth Tyranus outfit I used Imperial Officer uniform pattern from Etsy and jodhpur and cape pattern drafted by myself. My own Jedi outfit was completely drafted by me, simple kimono-style tunic and my own old trouser patterns with fit alterations. It took almost a month to make hubby’s costume, mine was made in about 3-4 days. Especially hubby’s outfit was complimented a lot in the event, but I was very pleased with also my own costume. Result was fantastic, considering how little time I had to make it. Thankfully it was quite simple design, unlike hubby’s costume. We experienced all sorts of set-backs too, for example paint which didn’t work for 3D-printed decorative buckles and vegetable-tanned leather which didn’t want to be dyed. But we managed to overcome those problems and outfits were finished in time. Now I finally remembered why I love sewing so much, but perhaps doing it for work is not for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event itself was smaller than last years Heroes Comic Con, but it still was a blast. We saw some international stars, enjoyed the atmosphere, admired peoples awesome cosplay outfits, met so many people and had fun chats about geeky stuff. Again next year?<\/p>\n\n\n

Er\u00e4\u00e4nlaisen yleis-Jedin asuun k\u00e4ytin referenssin\u00e4 Ewan McGregorin Obi-Wan Kenobia: kimono-tyyppinen tunika, samasta kankaasta ommeltu tabardi ja obi-vy\u00f6. Obin p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 nahkainen vy\u00f6 josta roikkuvat valomiekka ja tarvikepussukka (pussukan korvaan my\u00f6hemmin nahkaisella). Housut ovat er\u00e4\u00e4nlaiset yksinkertaiset pussihousut joissa lahkeiden yl\u00e4osan v\u00e4ljyys on koottu polvien alapuolelle ommelluilla, napakasti istuvilla trikoos\u00e4\u00e4rystimill\u00e4. Itsell\u00e4ni kun on tuo pohkeen paksuus aina ongelmallinen pitk\u00e4vartisissa saappaissa niin jouduin soveltamaan jotta saappaan sis\u00e4\u00e4n tulevaa kangasm\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4\u00e4 olisi mahdollisimman v\u00e4h\u00e4n. \/
Sort of random Jedi outfit, which I used Ewan McGregors Obi-Wan Kenobi as a reference: kimono-style tunic and tabard and obi-belt from same fabric. Ontop of the obi, there is leather belt with lightsaber and equipment pouch (which will be replaced with leather one later). Trousers are sort of very simple “plus-fours”, where the looseness of the trouserleg is gathered below the knee with snug-fitted sewn on jersey gaiters. I always have problems with the calf circumference when it comes to boots, so I had to use some creative puzzle solving to be able to fit the trouserleg inside the boot. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n
