GoGo Tomago Progress

Hey there! I may have been a tad bad about updating this blog for the last.....6 months.  I took a break after Dragon Con, and then was really bad about getting back on the sewing horse.  Toss in a new full time job, and there goes all my time.

SO!  What's new?  I am slowly working on making GoGo Tomago from Big Hero 6!






I started with black spandex, but the really thick, 4-way stretch kind.


I plan to foamsmith some armor, and I decided that the best way to proceed is to make the sleeves of the body suit yellow.  That way, when the armor moves as I bend my arm, everyone will still see yellow!


To start, I cut out the fabric following a body suit pattern:




I've made a body suit before with this pattern, so it didn't take long to throw it together (note: I put the zipper in the back, even though the pattern called for it in the front):



I still had to sew on the sleeves.



Then the base of the body suit was done!



All that remains is to add the decorative grey and red accents!





I still have to sew the purple wefts into the wig and double check the style, but it looks pretty good so far.

The wig and the purple wefts, not yet one.

Trying on the wig when it arrived.  No purple wefts yet!


The next big step is to foamsmith the armor, which I've never done before, but I AM excited about!  Wish me luck and look for more updates to come!
