    My current sewing battle...

    I am currently working on a 1/6 scale outfit for Cornelius's grey mens suit with the checks. It is a bear to align the checks.

    I worked on Cornelius's suit for a few hours now with lots of surfing inbetween today. I have both sleeves sewn on now (with the added seam, so now both sleeves have two seams each like a real suit!!)...and for the most part, the check pattern still matches!! I will need to trim down the collar and slim the suit a little...it's 50% done, not counting the lining that I want to add. Yay me!!

    This will be a major sewing feat for me when I complete this suit. No more fidgeting with other gazzillion ape customizing projects I have until I get this suit done!!

    Once I get the kinks out and make one complete suit, replicating it again should not be a big deal...it's just the hurdle of getting the first one made...

    Judging by other photos of your Ape clothes I've seen it will turn out fantastic.

    How about a teaser pic?

                Where do you get the repro Wayne suit?

                  Here's the status of the jacket. I have to slim down the sleeves to match the rest of the jacket and it's just pinned in place...After I slimmed the body down of the jacket, the width of the sleeves no longer looked appropriate . I also opened up the lapel too much for the photograph but it's getting there. My camera sucks.

                    Worked on it again last night. I started over and re-cut everything. The sleeves are better now. I just wish I had cut the lapel a little bit different so that the notch is not so far apart as they are now. Maybe I will re-do the collar and extend the outmost edge to bring it closer to the lapel.

                    I forgot that the underside of the lapel is the right side. I need to remove the left facing with a new one and make sure the pattern of the checks match.

                      Dr.Mego has them on his website. Just look under the "clothing and business suits" section.

                        For those who are able to print patterns onto fabric, how much would it cost to print blue grey stripes, 1/6 scale so that I could make the dress shirt for this outfit:

                          Here's are some quick shots of what I've done. Now onto the pants, and I can call this complete.
