| Armor (and feet) |
The patchwork armor ended up a little too big when Ray wore it at fair opening weekend. Even after we cut an inch out after the initial sizing, its still too big. I am not sure what I am doing wrong in the measurements here, but I think I am doing something wrong.
So, tonight we undid all the pretty stitching and I am taking out another inch in the center of the top lame. Thankfully there is a small section left where we can do this without damaging any of the tooling, and without (fingers crossed) messing up any of the fit of the rest of the armor.

We cut out the stitching, cut off the inch, punched the holes, redid the stiching, dyed the undyed newly cut piece, restiched the piece, tried it back on, and hecked a teenager playing Portal.
It was a good night.
