Joker Vest
I just finished the first piece of the Cap’n’s Steampunk Joker costume. This vest took five visible fabrics, which doesn’t count the interfacing. There were a lot of pieces to cut out for this!
A view of the front. This was my first time sewing welted pockets,
so I didn’t at all know what I was doing. You can tell the brown side was victim to my trial and errors.
Here you can see the top stitching on the collar as well as
the pewter skull buttons.
All of the pockets are made with this beautiful green on
green harlequin fabric.
The belt on back.
Are YOU ready for Halloween?

All Hallow’s Even Eve: Steampunk Ball
Elysium is holding a Steampunk Ball this month on Saturday October 30. I’m, of course, quite excited for another opportunity of viewing everyone’s amazing costumes! 
Find the Facebook event page here.
Live music for the evening begins at 10 and will feature Black Tape for a Blue Girl, randal.holt:dead.cat.cello, and of course DJs Void + The Gothfather. Arriving in costume will reduce your cover from $7 down to $5. The event is twenty-one and up only, as per usual of Elysium’s events.
There will also be a Steampunk Costume contest at midnight! Prize donors include Turner’s Tokens, Faire Treasures (check out the prize Pirate Hair Jewels here!), Steam Bath Factory, Chet Phillips, Parkers and Quinn, Tormented Artifacts, TaDa Boutique, Rhapsodical Hats, Christenia & Co., and Secret Oktober.
