Looks Great! You can speed up your hole punching by putting the punch in a drill and it will burnish the sides of the hole too making stitching a bit easier. Thanks for the great videos!

I know someone who worked at Tandy he uses a slab of marble to pound holes and some Tandy's offer classes on how to do stuff

It seems that AI didn't make organic animal with plenty fur in the actual HZD world. Then, how did people gather fur material (lol)? Fox? But,it's too small.

Making some good progress it looks like! With punching holes in the leather I've used a small board of plywood for backing, works for both punches and awls. I like the type of punch you're using in the video for when there needs to be a hole made some distance away from the edge of the leather, for the work you're demonstrating I'd recommend the rotary leather punch, it would cut the work time in half (the people at Tandy might have shown you) it would be more of an investment if you plan on doing a lot of work with leather in the future.How do you like the leather glue? I use contact cement when making sheaths.

Thank you for the great advice! I know you're an expert leather worker so I won't take this advice for granted. I actually liked the leather glue. It worked great holding the pieces together before I got to sew them together.

BEAUTIFUL. I am curious as I am about to try and make my own - how much suede did you end up getting for the top and the skirt panels?

My mother works with faux leather a lot for sewing purses, and it can be so irritating... she went through a lot of needles and even a machine in the beginning haha.

Your sewing machine has a leather *setting*?? Talk about useful! What kind / brand is it?
@GraceWillow7 жыл бұрын
Husqvarna Viking Opal! It's a great machine. Before this one I used the same $50 brother sewing machine for almost 9 years.

Hi! Your videos have been so useful and I hope my own Aloy ends up looking half as good as yours. Can I ask though, your leather overshirt fits so well, is there a zipper in one of the underarm seams?

Suede isn't as expensive as real buckskin, just putting things into perspective.

TheStonehammerFiles do u know if "Aloy" is modeled after "Rose Leslie" who portrayed "Ygritte" in Game of Thrones?

I use binder clips and the similar techniques when sewing leather. Plus and old 70's Singer machine which has steel internals. Also a rotary punch for edgework and a punch mat using the hard type of modular floor mat. She has the mad skillz.

That's awesome! Thanks for the tips. Your build is looking amazing!!! Thanks for sharing.

Watching cosplay got me out of a bad place after I shattered my femur free climbing. Sidelined me for almost 2 years. Yet watching your builds and a few other artisans gave me just the push I needed to learn to walk again. So I'm just starting to be creative again. Just a beginning for me hopefully to attend my 1st convention next year in the DC area. Thanks for the inspiration.

I'm so sorry to hear about your injury. I broke my thumb last year and couldn't craft for a good 3 months. I got pretty depressed so I can't imagine what it would be like to be unable to do something you love for 2 years! I'm glad you're feeling better and I hope you have a blast at your first con!
