From Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spiderman

Lately, I have been investing time in my spidey vest.

 Vest Front

I used snaps for the closures and add wooden gears to connect to the steampunk theme.

Vest Back (which looks awesome)

 I couldn't decide on which colour of satin lining to use, so I used blue in the front and red in the back.

I had a few problems with the leather and satin. In some areas on the vest the leather is to thick to machine sewn and had to be hand sewn. In the picture above, the sewing machine chewed up some of the satin (only happened to the back of the neck). So I stitched on some bias tape around the chewed area. I recommend you stitch on the bias tape to the lining first to avoid this problem.

Web Slinging Menace!!!

Hey, got my mask pretty much done, I may want to do some touch-ups in some areas though. The mask in the pictures looks a bit baggy because it made for my head and not the styrofoam head.

I used red stretch fabric under web lace. There's a slit in the back to put my head through and it ties up with the black lace ribbon attach to the bottom. 

Here's what the mask looks like with the goggles on.

Next, I'm going to be sewing up my pleather vest. I was having a hard time with the back spider because of how detail it was. I ended up glueing the spider on with some special leather glue.

For the front of the vest I attach web lace on top of the red pleather.
