Boot Binder Sleepsack Part IV - Second fit test

For those of you who are curious to see the 2nd prototype, here's the fit test with the internal sleeves in place:
It fit really nicely, but because the position of the arms was different...

...it made the fit at the shoulders change near the neck. This is why it's so important to do a fit test with any alterations you make: a change in position of the arms makes the shape of the shoulders different. Edits like this can ripple though the entire pattern. So if you still want a skin tight fit, you may have to make adjustments along the way. 


 The whole leg pocket fit was unchanged from the last time. Next time: you get to see how it all turned out.

P.S. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my leather-crafty friends and pervy readers all over the world. Here's to a happy and healthy 2015!

    1. My idea is to use mittens inside the internal sleeves. And if you know me, you know that an attached hood is definitely part of the plan... =)

    The red vinyl looks really festive.

    May I ask what type of vinyl you use to prototype?

    1. Thanks AR80! The vinyl is something I picked up in the garment district in downtown LA. I don't see any identifying markings, but many stores carry similar vinyl in that area.
