Marshall in his new Coat


In my kitchen.. Best light on a rainy day.  He's off to the Seattle Steam punk convention.  Ya I know his sleeves are a little short but he's wearing leather bracers over them anyway.  I guess, he decided not to wear a hat and I made him take down his ponytail.  Really needs to be brushed out.  But, ain't he a cutie??  Hope he has a wonderful time!!

Latest Task

Marshall bought a plain black wool coat... turned out to be 2 sizes to small.  He says,"Mom, can you fix it?"  and I say, "Sure!"  duh
Well, after a month.....many headaches and several trial and errors here it is!  People want pictures now so I won't wait till he tries it on.  Bill already did and it looks great!
Pleather inserts in the sleeves and Tapestry on the shoulders and back make it fit better.  The Giant clasp on the back was Marshalls to begin with.  12 silver buttons.. OH my fingers!! Alot of handwork!
This is for a Steam punk convention...Vampire hunter costume.  Pictures of it on him by Halloween. I promise!!
