I love when I get strange sewing requests from people. Usually the requests I get are pretty normal,
like will you fix a seam for me. Not
this time though! I got a request
through work to make a set of Avengers masks for a skit to perform in front of
children.
I had to find a way to make the masks recognizable while not
completely covering the actors' faces. I
ended up using pieces of craft felt in different colors and different layers
for effect. It was all hand sewn, though
it probably could have been sewn on a machine.
I was doing it at work, so I didn't have access to one.
I also made a Captain America shield (it was for a
synagogue, hence the different star in the middle), and a helmet out of
cardstock for Thor.
With a few other costume pieces, the skit went off
smashingly. Yes... I went there...
Smash.
