Demon Summoner
I forgot to take WIP (Work in progress) pictures o3o. But these is what I've got. I also made the crosses to hang on the front of the suit, but my hand got worn out after volunteering for the Ironman 70.3 on Sunday, so I couldn't handle the hole puncher ;.; painful q.q (anyways it was too thick, I would have sewn it on, but I ran out of time)
I used paper clips and glue gun to make the crosses and flexible wire (insulated with rubber of course) from the reject shop to make the 'buckles' you see on the pant. Glue gun is so powerful, but I need to be more neat. The wire is way cheaper than the actual buckles, work well enough and truth be told, I couldn't find the actual buckles - I was looking all over the variety shops in my area (there are no craft shops! T^T; spotlight closed down and is only selling housewares, no more craft) as well as online and on ebay/google/aliexpress.
Luna said the handkerchief was to make it look fancy so I left that out. It's impractical anyways to find a cloth just for that....
I'm quite happy with the pant; it could be better but I couldn't find the right colour thread for it so I went with white thread ;.; It just looks slightly less professional - okay a whole lot less professional. talking about professional maybe I need an overlocking machine too.. I saw them on the net and in shops for $99.
Not that satisfied about the top though. I want professionalism without the practice work Q,Q (#ilazy)
I've washed both pieces and they became crumpled.... (I need to learn more about the types of materials and best uses...) I guess they'll need an iron to get that collar facing the right direction. The hem is making it sag to the wrong side ;.;
Overall, the material cost $4/metre and I probably used 1-2 metres at most. buckles were $2 for 10m of the wire (so cheap *^* compared to if I'd found the buckles, which I assume would cost at least 50cents each for cheap plastic). The thread, I managed to find a seller which sold the thick roll of sewing machine thread for $1 each *^* happy happy~ They only have that offer for selected colours though.
