Guy Gardner

Oh, I've been gone for awhile- but not due to loafing- been busy! So, here's a project that I was sure to make at some point in time. Guy Gardner.


You know what old bowl-cut looks like:
You know he's got an interesting wardrobe. This is what I was what I was able to do with it:


Here's how I did it.
After planning the design and making the pattern I began to cut fabric. Both of the white and black trim on the collar were made of bias stripes. Here I cut the bias strips apart in a big spiral.
Here I use my zipper foot and polyester cording to make the piping. 


Cutting out the pattern. I found a nice twill in the desired shade of green. The vest is fully self-lined.

The symbol is made out of the same twill as the rest of the vest. The outermost layer of the symbol needed to be black, so I stitched that. Here, I am using a longer zigzag stitch to hold the symbol in place. Later I went back with a very narrow stitch to give the symbol stability as well as the proper black border.

After stitching the waistband into place I marked the placement for all the buttonholes. Here, I am using my buttonhole attachment piece for my sewing machine. There were a lot of buttonholes! 

After I cut all the buttonholes open I wove the "belt" through all the buttonholes.

There's a better view.
This is what the final "belt" looked like. 

Stitching the waistband facing to the lining by hand.

The finished vest.

Don't forgot to rock the popped collar!

Stay tuned- more fun stuff to come in the coming weeks!

  3. Yes, are you able to make more if given measurements? Because my husband would crap his pants for one of those. He made one for himself by cutting the sleeves off of an old motorcycle jacket and spray painting it, but this looks much nicer and more professional :)

    2. I have no affiliation with ezcosplay. I would say they are not legit as they used a photo of my work without my permission.
      If you are interested in having me make one for you please contact me directly info@anigswes.com
