So I’d been searching for my first cosplay for a while and I have researched several different characters I think I can pull off. I finally decided on trying to build a Loki. I haven’t personally seen anyone doing Loki in any of my local cosplay groups but I have heard of one, but only one. So I figured why not. His outfit doesn’t look that hard and I needed an “easy” one to start with. After all, I haven’t done much sewing since middle school, around the early 90s and that was only pillowcases.
I started with the tunic. The first thing I did was to find a pattern. I used a free t-shirt pattern found here and modified it. I printed out the pattern and redrew it on a sheet of pattern paper adding in the extra length and design changes. This was a challenge for me since I’ve never tried to follow a clothing pattern much less alter one so it took me a couple of tries to get it close enough. I transferred the pattern to muslin material and cut it out. It fits my duct tape dummy pretty well.
This is as far as I’ve got so far. I’m a little stuck now that I have to make the coat. I haven’t found an easily alterable coat pattern so next might work on the pants. Pants should be easy… right?
