WOW!! luv your fai coat!!! its very beautiful!!!!! quick question tho, how many yards of fabric did u use for the coat? & how did u attache the sleeves to the coat? those r my 2 biggest concerns at this point and time as im currently planning my own "variation" of fai for halloween 2013, as my social group usually gets to together for a costume party & the last 3yrs we've done this party i've made my own costumes....my very 1st yr i went as lydia deetz from the beetlejuice cartoon from the 80's!! it was a popular show when i was little. now this year i wanna do a fai cosplay. problem is im a girl, & my chest isnt exactly flat as a cutting board either, lol! so i again, like last yr, will need to improvise on this one & since i'm going as fai when he was turned into a vampire, my plan is to make a female version of fai from another dimension, but i'll definitely be the coolest vampire chick at the party this yr, dont u agree? lol anywho would be very grateful if u could answer my 2 questions above. thanks in advance!!
Hello there! I'm glad you like my coat! As for the questions, I'm not sure how many yards, but I used up about 4 meters of outer fabric and the same amount for the lining. About the sleeves - most important thing is getting a good pattern. The sleeve and shoulder cut outs have to match lengthwise at the seam and the sleeve also has a fancy curve... I can't really explain, but if you plan on a buying pattern, then all you'll have to do is fit the sleeve into the shoulder and sew. Good luck!
first, sorry for my bad english, i hope, you can understand, then i am from germany.
I love you coat, it' soooo awesome!!!!
i have read, that you don't have the pattern, right? here is my question:
i am a beginner in sewing, so you can please made a little sketch, where i can see, where did you put the sections?? I do not need measurements, only the form as I have to cut roughly that would be very, very nice, and very helpful!
*o* Thank you for the tutorial. I'm now planning a Rokudo Mukuro cosplay, from Katekyo Hitman, Reborn!, but when i finish it, I want to start a Fye one (for September/October, so I have a loot of time xD). Your coat is pretty cute, i hope mine to be as great as yours. Greetings from Spain ^^

I'm really sorry if I'm too pushy
