Making removable clothes

Posted in Custom Workstation

I'm practicing making clothes (if you can call a skimpy loincloth that) for figures.

This material I was using had the perfect texture, but once I started sewing it the "leather" veneer basically disintegrated as I went along. (I don't know how it was even used to make the purse I cut the piece from in the first place.)

Looking for suggestions for what fake leather fabric material to use now.



Here's a better look at the stitching, it's functional. As you can see from the previous pic, when made with fabric you can make the belt sag a little in front so it doesn't look so unnaturally straight.



Tips:

Don't use hot glue or super glue to stick fabric together. Hot glue is messy and creates bulk, super glue soaks into everything and makes things rigid.

If you absolutely want to glue things to skip stitching, use fusible webbing or permanent fabric glue.

================================

Attached the backflap using the new leather scraps. The belt actually sags nicely in front and back, I dampened the flap so it hangs well on the butt, should hold that shape once it's dry.
