Costuming

Well, it turns out that Edward scissorhands is a little too far outside of my skillset.  Also requires a lot more scrap leather than I can be bothered with. 

I saw the actual movie costume at the Tim Burton exhibition at ACMI when I was in Melbourne.  It was made from a  hotchpotch of different bits of leather.  Decided to have a go myself.  Get some leather jackets,  cut them up, make stuff out of them.  Turns out that you need a hell of a lot of leather to make a single pair of trousers.  Also, not that easy to stitch these bits together or to make a pair of trousers out of them.  I only have another three weekends before the con.  Since I have to make trousers, jacket and scissors in that time, and have no idea how to do any of these,  I think that will be cutting it a bit fine.

Would be nice to make something. 

Themes are Superheroes, and robots. 

Maybe I could give it another go.  Still requires a Camden raid.  So, what else can I make?  Ideas are hereby solicted.
