Great to see another Royal Guard in Australia. What state are you in ?

So I had a day to myself today and I decided to get the inner robe and sash cut out and sewed together. The sash took the longest to construct (go figure ). As no one was home, I couldn't get anyone to pin up the hems for me. That will be tomorrow nights job. So for now, its on my mannequin ...

So I have cut out he pattern and mounted to card, this way I can reuse the pattern more than once and help other guards in Melbourne :tr2:
This weekend I am gong to make a "mock up" out of cheesecloth fabric to try on for size etc. Again, this then can be used to help other new guards with fitting ...

Happy New Year Everyone,

So, I am cracking down on this build and going to get this build finished !

For the undercloak I am using a McCalls Pattern 4002. As you can see in the pic, it has a slit in the front - which I will modify the pattern as no slit is allowed. This is quite a very easy ...
