Coats I’ve made for myself
I can’t believe it’s been 4.5 years since I made this jacket but it’s about time I got some decent pictures of me in it! I call it my vampire hunting jacket because it was made soon after the movie Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and it had lots of silver on it. It also has loops on the sides of my waist for silver sais, which I happen to have!
You can read more about the jacket in the original post in this link. Pics of me in it are below.
I made this coat 4 years ago, with details in this post. As awesome as it was with the built in sword holders in the back, it’s taken me a while to get some photos of myself in it. Better late than never!
Thanks to my friend Miki and Geena for the photos

The project was the most inefficient and challenging I’ve taken up to date because I was trying too many new things at the same time. Continue reading
