Scarlet Spider Jacket

This is based on a new version of the Scarlet Spider that is well scarlet. Perhaps in the future I will make a garment based on the classic blue and red Scarlet Spider costume. In fact I think it's a must, because how often do you find a superhero costume that already has a sweatshirt? Weird, right?

 

Anyway, this design was a joy to work with. The spider detailing was very time consuming, but well worth the excellent results.

I Need a Break from this Hot Super Summer, Time to Shower with the Avengers!

 One of my favorite things about superhero movies coming out is all the fun merchandise that accompanies it- especially the fabric. I found this fabric particularly awesome and couldn't bring myself to actually cut it up. So I didn't, I added some yellow side panels, gold grommets for a one-of-a-kind super-awesome shower curtain!

Deadpool

Here is a work in progress Deadpool costume.

How would you like to be greeted by this at your local comic book shop? 

If you go to Encounter Comics and Games in Allentown PA you just might find him.

Still to come: weapons and belts!

Stay tuned for the finished costume on Free Comic Book Day!

Shadowcat

Shadowcat/Kitty Pryde: Excalibur
Materials:
Mask, gloves and underpants: poly/spandex
Blouse: poly/rayon
Sash and leggings: nylon/spandex
Boots: purchased

Originally when I considered making Shadowcat I was thinking of doing the blue and gold costume, maybe even the old 'uncanny' one with the hood, but then I caught wind of the Excalibur costume. So totally and wonderfully 80's! Love the blouse, I knew shoulder pads were a must!

The decision on which costume to make has a lot of different factors. Sometimes it's driven by a beloved childhood character, sometimes it's part of set. Sometimes it's a suggestion from someone else. Sometimes it is time and money constraints. Sometimes it's based on the materials I have at hand. Kitty Pryde was a little bit of the last two reasons.
