After some trial and error experimentation, I was able to create a pattern for Robin’s leathery vest tunic (in Adobe Photoshop) that had a nice, tailored fit on the “Athletic Boy” body I developed.

Fabricating the vest was a bit involved, and even painstaking, and yet it was also a lot more fun than I anticipated it would be.
I printed out the vest pattern, and then very lightly coated the back of the page with spray adhesive. With the light tack consistency of maybe painter’s tape, I adhered the paper pattern to the back of the red fabric I selected. With my trusty, sharp cuticle scissors, I cut out a perfectly clean vest, which I then sewed into a wearable garment.
