Jumpsuit tutorial / riding patches template ?

[drache]

Hi.

 

Can anyone point me to a tut for the jumpsuit - anyone have a template for the riding patches?

 

Thanks guys.

We have a riding patch pattern but it's not very accurate to the original costume. Honestly the best match I've seen to it would be the Sabine character from "Rebels".

 

The areas indicated by "462" show how it should look

I found it helpful to do a masking tape pattern on the suit itself after getting a handle on how the patches are supposed to look front and back.

 

To do this you would need to be wearing your jumpsuit and you need the help of someone who is comfortable putting masking tape in that region. We layered masking tape on the area front and back, traced with a sharpie the outline of the riding patches, peeled the tape off carefully in one piece, then laid it flat to pull a pattern off of it.

 

Once the pattern was laid flat I used an old t-shirt to use a a test template. I cut it out in the shape of the sharpie outline from the pattern then pinned it on to the jumpsuit to see if it would look right. I did this so I wasn't taking a risk with suede the first time out. This ended up working really well for me.

 

I kind of approached this like TK ears where the outline or pre-determined pattern doesn't work for all helmets (does it work for any of them ) so I came up with the pattern for my body and my jumpsuit.

 

I hope this is clear enough to be helpful.

Here is a pic from the Costumes book. You can see the pattern of the leather pretty well here:
