whoa, whoa, whoa Union Station is completely flooded. I’m seriously at the station all the time and this is just so creepy and weird!! 

Toronto, get your shit together. 

Yeah totally not going home tonight

To be honest, it’s been threatening to rain for so long (like, a week and a half), I didn’t expect it to actually rain.

But then it did. And boy, did it.

Because someone asked for one. So here we go, albeit a bit late.

Disclaimer: This vest was made with a handful of reference before the movie came out! There are now better shots (and back shots) of the suit so I can remake it. Additionally, there are details I chose to leave out as I knew I would not have time to make certain things (like the buckles because I believe they attach to the quiver). Due to time and financial constraints, I also couldn’t get the right trim, and made due with piping. This is by no means flawless, and there are quite a few errors! I’ll try to actually do a better step by step when I remake it.

Step one: Reference. Reference reference reference. To try and have a 180 view of this costume, I busted out my second screen so I could easily have both pictures open and large. Of course, making this costume before the movie came out meant I’d have to guess in some spots, and I did. You do the best with what you have.

Step two: I took a bodysuit pattern and traced out what I’d need for the overall shape of the vest (because I’m lazy and well, if I have a resource I may as well use it). From there, I used the reference pictures to sorta piece out each part of the vest. Tried to make sense of it.

Step three: From there, I traced out each of those pieces and added seam allowance. These became my pattern pieces. (At this point, I’ve lost one of my pieces in the disaster that is my room. Luckily I still have my base.)

Step four: This would be “cut out fabric”, but I didn’t take a picture of me doing that. So here’s starting to sew things together. This is actually one of the first mistakes I made. I have the overlap on the red/purple facing up when it should be facing down. Double check things before you sew them together! I sewed those pieces together, and then most of the back pieces with the piping, and then attached the front black pieces and more piping around pretty much the whole thing. And then the red bits to the mess of piping and black fabric.

Step five: Continue sewing things together! The ribbed fabric is actually wet look black I had lying around that I sewed the back of to give that effect. There’s a better picture of that later when I show the inside of the vest. The zippers were sewn into cut slits.

Step six: Put in the zipper. Admired my handiwork. At this point I noticed that things weren’t lining up, so I ripped out the zipper and replaced it with a shorter one to try and fix that.

Step seven: The sleeves are a leather look black (leftover from my roommate’s Widow suit). They were pretty much just strips of fabric. The bottom piece is interfaced. They both have piping along the edge. Sewed them together and then sewed them in. The collar is also pretty haphazardly sewn on. Also SHIELD patch, which was cast by Christine of the Dangerous Ladies.

Step eight: Here’s the inside of the vest. You can see how I did the “ribbing”. Also not perfect (or straight).

Step nine: And here’s the back of the vest.

I still want to line this and fix some things up, but it’ll mostly just be a fashion piece, rather than a costume piece. But yeah! Here we go. Here’s how I did it. Feel free to ask questions or for clarification.
