At this rate you might even finish before me! Our theatre is opening its production of Into The Woods this Thursday, and I was just recently cast as John Proctor in The Crucible...I'll be spending every day after work at the theatre for performances or rehearsals....The life of an unpaid actor is relentless.

I’m going to be testing the paint on the Cape soon. This is a scrap of fabric that I’m gonna use to test colors and techniques, but this is the vinyl stencil that I caught on the cricket.

This looks great! If I had access to a cricut and didn't have to cut my HTV with a blade I would love to do copy the pattern. The sizing looks pretty accurate too

I feel you: I'm on vacation till Friday and I want to finish the whole project to a somewhat wearable state before school starts for me (in a week after i get back, we use a quarter system), so I'm gonna be on a but of a time crunch lol. I'm planning on cutting the fabric to shape, and later finish the pattern and such between now and Halloween

I will share the svg files and make a tutorial after I have the sizing and stuff all worked out.

Here are some of the results of the paint test and masking with the Cricut. I’m leaning toward the center color so far.

This looks great! How much stiffness does the painting add to the fabric?

 

[Skidmorpheus]

In that small area not much. I did 2 or 3 light thinned coats of Vallejo model air acrylic paints. I will have to see if the painting the whole cape makes it more rigid.

Everything looks so good.
