1:1 scale Beat It jacket

[jessica]

Tadah! Whooo!! I did it! This jacket is made out of vinyl and started out as a line drawing to I could figure out the seam placements. I then used Dylan's jacket to trace the parts of the jacket and cut out the pieces and put them together. I faked the zippers because it's a daycare costume, and zippers are expensive. This is the most complicated outfit I am going to make for the performance and has been hanging over my head for some time now. What a relief--it's almost done. I just need to attach the belt portion of it, add snaps, and then I'm done. Someone else can add the zipper pulls. Since it's just a costume I won't bother with the lining.

Man, I remember when MJ was so popular and all the stores had replicas of his jackets and you could buy one glove, too.
Ok, here's your next project...start sewing.
