Ellie Veightor: I finished my Star Wars jacket — Subium • Bluesky web client

I finished my Star Wars jacket

I've been, uh... On One, for awhile

Then I watched Andor because of said interest in sci fi coats and I was uhhh I was uhhhhhh pretty into it

Especially Ferrix!!! bsky.app/profile/chea...

fit checks

I started with a barn jacket pattern from Green Pepper patterns... www.thegreenpepper.com/product/537-...

I dyed some canvas and some twill curtains in my bathtub bsky.app/profile/chea...

I'm sure that in a miracle of artistic intent I can dye 5 yards of canvas the exact same color as the thrift store twill curtains from five months ago

I did a 7' strip of half inch knife pleats while listening to @morecivilized.bsky.social...

wait, loads of people have told me to watch Andor because of the politics but they never told me about the coats. you’re saying there are coats??

oh you better believe there are coats, it’s up there with westworld in terms of excellent coats and jackets

The costumes are extraordinary. It is by some distance the best TV I watched last year, and no question the best (perhaps only good) thing to come out of the Disney IP Brand Extension Machine. And the coats. Oh, the coats.

Awww yeah my brother- they got high class coats and cloaks, formal imperial officer stuff, cool working Joe stuff even resort wear!

HOLY SHIT THIS LOOKS GREAT, gonna need a fit check

i showed this thread to my spouse who is a high school activities director who makes costumes for fun and well anyway you’re her favorite person now and i am second, which is fine. she’s currently working on her costume in the costume room, which is a thing we have.

OMG

Misty Starwars

That's right

the aesthetics of this are very visvim (very expensive fashion brand out of japan)

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH

this rules

serious question, how are you going to resist the urge to make this your full-time uniform

I might not, to mr. view's horror i already wore it to the grocery store

This rocks

this looks incredible and the color is just ideal, like if the 1970s lasted five decades and all our stuff aged organically

I was so happy with how the dyeing turned out- pure luck

Hell yeah that looks great

I missed this, it's amazing

NEED

I love this

Amazing! Did you use a pattern to make this? Or modified something off the shelf?

I started with this pattern and just got more and more ambitious slicing into the pattern pieces to add the details www.thegreenpepper.com/product/537-...

Really nice work. I remember liking “Andor” instantly, just because of the way it looked. The clothes, the set design, the cinematography, the effects — something about all of it just resonated with me.

Holy shit that looks amazing!

This is so cool

😍

WOW WHAT

This is wonderful

thank you!!!

god this is so fucking cool omg <3 what does it say?

The little badge is a mechanic-style nametag that says "Misty" and the big patch says "Practical Interfaces" because if I was in star wars my job would be working on all those backlit control panels, toggle switches etc

I love every element of this project, you made a cool thing
