This is the first time I've commented on a KZread video in over a decade, but I must say that the bit in here about using masking tape to hold your pattern still while you cut with the rotary cutter has revolutionized my tailoring!

Looks absolutely dope! Make a wizard cloak to match with an inside sheath for the wand (like you did with for the throwing knives inside the Rogue’s cloak). The War Wizard is REALLY coming along!

This is honestly just what I needed rn

Something you could do for leather sticking to the sewing machine's foot is to wrap the seam with paper, or if it's an internal seam, use painter's (blue) tape as it won't pull the nap up too much, The tape will slide across the foot, while allowing enough pressure to make the advancement work. I did that on a cloak I am making and had no problems. Agreeing with other commenters, I feel you may have to go with Weaver or others for sponsorship. My local Tandy's store says they don't do sponsorships. Whether that is a local or corporate decision, I don't know. I do know Weaver sponsors Prince Armory, who does leather armor. another source for cheap light leather is look for a secondhand store near an airplane fabricator. Locally, I have a Falcon Jet facility that donates scrap/extra leather to a place called Habitat for humanity/ Re-Store. I get large pieces of upholstery leather for $1/lb. It takes a Fiebing's dye very well.

I know it is a year-old comment at this point, but it may help someone. I live in an apartment complex. Keep an eye out by the dumpsters towards the end of the month when people might be moving out. A few quick swipes with your pocket knife can get you a nice sized piece of lightweight leather from the back of a discarded couch or chair.

Weave a basket! Or a straw hat. Or a hat basket!

I bet Weaver Leather would sponsor you, or maybe Springfield Leather Co.. Tandy isn't the only player in this game, so long as you don't mind ordering online!

I really enjoy watching your videos. Great enthusiasm and your imagination seems endless. Your ability to carry out your visions is absolutely incredible and you do so with such ease. You truly are very talented and your work is not only beautiful, but pieces of art. A small tip. There are Teflon presser feet for sewing machines for sewing leather. In a pinch, a plastic straw can be placed over the foot, with similar results. Please keep doing what your doing and thank you for putting in the time and effort you do, thus allowing your viewers countless hours of enjoyment. Best regards !

I was not prepared for that ending!!! So good! 😂

this project is so badass :D very very cool

you needed a walking foot for this. with thicker material the sewing machine tends to struggle with moving both sides in tandem. a walking foot moves the top layer while the feed dogs move the bottom layer

Love it, and Highly entertained:)

If you put enough force you can stamp chrome tan leather

Had to watch this again because it came up in my list. Should be able to like it again! lol But I wanted to answer a thing you stated on here about not sure if the chrome tan would move around if you prepunched the holes. Answer: Yes it could. However, glue or tape like you did would have been fine. I make guitar straps and have no problem putting the two together. The chrome tan I use is deer tan. Super supple too!

Stick masking tape to the bottom of the pressure foot and it won’t stick to the leather as much. :)

Excellent! And you do look pretty badass with all the make-up.

Probably one of my new favorite channels, tbh. Love nerd shit!

Your videos popped up in my feed. Watched a few of them. This is the video I subscribed with. Nothing special about this video, just that after the random shuffle of videos I decided to double check and saw I hadn’t subscribed yet. Keep up the good work.

Looks amazing, I've got a fairly lightweight cotton cloak that I've waterproofed, but I'd like to remove the hood and add a leather hood and mantle to it. I wonder if you've got any suggestions on how to go about that or would I be better doing it from scratch

You should add like a cape or cloak to it so that it gives you that wizardy look. Just an idea

Oh I want one😃

You need to make robes metal gauntlets boots and chestplate to go with the hood

How'd you go with it? I was similarly surprised with how simple a hood pattern is when I made one, enough that I was able to tweak it exactly to my specs basically freehand. Attaching it to the main costume piece, on the other hand...

you should do a wooden sword and sheath

This totally looks like a Thalmor hood.

I can't find the pattern for this in your website, is it not available for purchase?

Huh...that chest portion would also make a nice gorget if you put some more veg tan on the shoulders and add D loop belts to secure pauldrons... Excuse me a moment *starts furiously taking notes and measurements

How are you going to were the gorget and the hood?

walking foot for the machine and leather needle Or heavy duty needle.

I need to level up my pattern making skill for sure. I made a hood recently from a pattern I bought and it looks great, but having that specific fit is perfect. Guess I'll see if my wife wants to duct tape me.
