Outfit number 3 from Axis Power Hetalia, Prussia as a Teutonic Knight! ⚔️ I think this is one of the outfits where I made most pieces myself! The pants and long-sleeved T-shirt were bought, but the cape and tabard were made by yours truly~ Those garments are mostly straight lines, but long straight seams are the best way to learn! ⚔️ This was both very easy and very hard to make. There are very few full body official artworks out there (and with webcomic they tend to be quite… scrunchy). It does open up the possibility for artistic freedom (and to make difficult things a bit more my level 8D ). The patterns for both the cape and the tabard were drafted with the help of various online sources and made with white terlenka. The fabric is a bit more forgiving than cotton for capes and such, since it doesn’t wrinkle that easy~ ⚔️ I did add my signature satin-stitching application for a bit more oomph. Made with black terlenka, ironed on with vlies-o-fix and stitched with a silver grey border. The crosses are modeled after the iron cross. I’m not sure it existed during the time of the crusades, but since it is a Prussian symbol, it fitted the character quite well. (it’s origin is not German and it’s definitely not a hate symbol, though it tends to get appropriated for such purposes, unfortunately…) ⚔️ Swipe to the back for those scrunchy artworks (of scrunkly little Prussia xD ). I do have to say, the anime screenshot is newer (from 2016-ish), so some colour choices might be off. (I mainly used fanworks and historical reproductions of knights for references back in 2011, so that was also a fun deep dive 8D) ⚔️ #hetalia #axispowershetalia #aph #aphprussia #aphcosplay #aphprussiacosplay #teutonicknightprussia #teutonicknight #2011 https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVoswdo8cH/

(I need to make some extra steps to get my post from Instagram to Tumblr, so it's a bit weird at the moment. Tumblr has addressed the problem and is looking into it. Instagram has... complete radio silence after multiple attempts to contact someone...)
