Loft's Tunic

The finished product! Loft is a Link from @bonus-links by @ezdotjpg. The weaving process is detailed here for the alpaca overtunic. The undertunic was hand sewed in linen, and the amber necklace is hemp. Pleated pants were from a past project. Sadly, I do not own a Goddess Harp, so a Turkish lyre will have to do.

Much gratitude to one of my partners for driving me out to Huckleberry Reserve Faron Woods and taking pictures.

You know who you are

but for everyone else btw it was @razzbberry

A canon event in ever teenager's life is someone older showing them that Axe bodyspray and a lighter make a pretty decent flame thrower.

Ik Tim is a genius and prolly knows that already, but that's not the point.

I gave Jason a clipper as a lighter cause they are superior.

Who do you think is sitting on the bednand taking the picture?

I’m going insane

[hellothereimaloser]

Sorry that I haven't posted anything in a long time :')) I'm kinda busy with uni plus I'm so unsatisfied with my artstyle rn, I just don't have any motivation to draw lol but I recently got into batfam again so here's Jason Todd <3 First time drawing him tho!

Brought to you by the smoothest rogue you ever did see.

Tunic Weaving Process

Marking my second project on a rigid heddle loom, I finally got around to finishing my not-a-cosplay-I-swear tunic to be linked (heh) in the future.

(Edit: Final product here!)

This tunic splits the difference between the original reference image here, and the comic pages. The only noticeable factors are that the hem's curve is somewhat shallow, and that the sleeve details are three parts (as versus five).

The tunic shaping is also modified to be more... Tunic-y. That is to say, made of rectangles and straight seams—so no set-in sleeves, and a bit of a wider shape to account for the woven fabric type.

It will be accompanied by a linen under-tunic and hemp-amber necklace. Made because they all look nice together, but also separately.

Starting out, I calculated how much yarn would be needed for the body (incorrectly), and set up all of my warp threads.

After my first project's hiccups, the warp threads were individually tied so as to minimize risk of uneven tension.

For whatever reason, I decided to curve the hem as part of the piece, rather than enforcing, trimming, and hemming to a curve. (This was also incorrect—or at least a bad move.)

The full, finished back piece is pictured above, and is a little more loosely woven than the front panel, but is still absolutely warm enough to justify material costs.

The neckline for the front was made in two parts starting at the split. The widest part of the neckline was essentially cut away. All fringe was woven in on the neckline (and the hem), and the shoulder seams were bound together with this method as well. Side seams were just back-stitched.

The neckline was crocheted with a lighter yarn as a border, and a faux closure was attached to match the reference.

As mentioned, the smart move would have been to curve the bottom of the tunic through enforcement, trimming, and hemming, so to make the front more even with the back, this is what I ended up doing, despite that it was... Already curved.

The sleeves deserved a gusset, especially because those aid a place that would normally be a weak point on regular fabric, and would be extra prone to pulling on something handwoven like this.

Finally, sleeve decorations were chain-stitched in the accent color to match the neckline.

It took several months of intermittent work to finish, but could have probably been less had the tall task of weaving in several hundred loose threads not daunted me so much.

It was made from alpaca, which I justify via my intention to wear this as it gets colder in the northern hemisphere, but also because I could not get my hands on hemp yarn (which would have made more sense in the context of the setting).
