Need help with sewing patterns
Hello all, I recently created a thread on a consignment thread and got bombarded from all directions saying how my offer price was too low, guess I would have to start from scratch then. Im looking to create a uniform using this template: http://www.megomadhouse.com/images/p...vieuniform.pdf. I have read up on Dave McCormick's tutorial and have and studied the template. I think I understand (mostly) where goes where but I have a few doubts, and thus would like to address it.
1) Assuming I start off with the left sleeve. Do I sew (half of) the sleeve onto one side of the front left panel, then sew the other half onto the back panel and finally (after doing the same with the other sleeve) sew the two front panels together? I decided that sewing the front and back panels then sewing the sleeve on would be too troublesome. Tell me what you think.
2) Many parts of the uniform requires piping. I read up tutorials on how to do this but where could I buy the 'Un-stretched Narrow Elastic' from (I intend to use this, although stated to be used for the pants, but also to use it for the white layer and the back of the uniform)?
3) How the 'White Layer Front Right Panel' and the 'Inside Front Left Panel' are to be sewn on. Could someone who perhaps done this before give some advice?
4) What material I should use for the epaulet, chest insignia, and buckle.
5) Where I could find PVC for the belt? Will leather do any harm to the figure or uniform, if not could it be deemed it as an (ironic) alternative?
Thank you!
