Workin on the Watson Jacket

 I didn't get called in to teach today and I wasn't scheduled to work  so I hit the Goodwill and Wal-mart  and found jeans and shoes for the costume. Tonight I managed to finish hand sewing  all of the corduroy onto the collar of the jacket . It looks great! It adds such a nice richness to the jacket and makes it look a bit less cheep.  If I have time tomorrow I'll start on the elbow and shoulder pads, but I now have all of the base pieces needed for the costume. YAY !

I won't be finished with the sleeves for the sweeter in time for time gate, not even close, but that's ok it'll be done buy Dragon*con.

I will definitely want a picture of your Watson next week.

How did you find a leather jacket this time of year? I've been to several Goodwills looking for leather to mutilate to my own costuming purposes and can't find any.
