Probably because of all the hall costumes in evidence yesterday, green_trilobite has expressed interest in putting together a steampunk costume. He's been toying with the idea for a while, actually -- he bought a pith helmet last year. Today he picked up some Russian paratrooper goggles from the flea market; and I've begun an attempt at drafting him a waistcoat. So far I've downloaded this one, stretched the proportions in Photoshop, left out the darts, and printed it; the muslin I made indicates that I need to extend the front panels a bit, so I've built out the edge of the pattern with some more paper. Now I need to find some more expendable fabric to try it out with.
