How to Make Duct Tape Patterns for Cosplay // Sylvie Cosplay Tutorial Pt. 3

this week I'm showing you how I make my duct tape patterns for cosplay, specifically for Sylvie's armor! this is the method I use to create most of the patterns for my costumes and it's super easy and cheap to do! you can substitute in most other thicker tapes, like painters tape.

LET'S TALK SHOP

I'm going back to basics on this Sylvie build and breaking down the steps I'm taking to pattern, build and finish off her breastplate over the next two weeks! I've been showing you a lot of 3D printing lately and while I love tinkering with my printers, some times I just need to get my hands dirty with some EVA foam.

Let me know what you're working on this week down below!

I don't do cosplay but i am getting into sewing. This was really helpful! You're funny too. "If you're anything like me, first of all, I'm sorry" made me lol

[yorokobisweet]

This was so helpful! I never realized you could use simple household items like these! Tysm!!💖

[AstrocyteCosplay]

Your duct tape pattern is much cleaner than mine. Still trying to perfect doing this on myself. Great informative video. Thankyou!

[stormhawkdude]

Thank you for this, I'm making a William Shakespeare from Fate/Apocrypha cosplay and have tried explaining this process to my family for their help but this visual explanation should help them more than my words did.

Thanks for this video; I'm going for one of Queen Ramonda's gowns from "Wakanda Forever". Please wish me luck.

[dragmorian]

Oh, darts! Man, I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to get my damn pattern flat. Thanks!

[FlokisModels]

Great video! I wonder if I could use this idea to make a pattern for boot gators for my Mando build?

[simony]

Thank you, this was a very helpfull video for me. I was able to make my hero chestplate with only a few hiccups

[Imachair]

Weird question, but what if parts are pointed or tiered? Like it’s not just a solid piece laying against your body. How do you pattern that?

I'm dressing as my own Loki Variant, Allandra (Ally), who is practically Sylvie but was pruned right away and had to deal with the whole kid Loki vs President Loki. She grew up to 16 and then Sylvie and 2012 Loki come, set Alioth free from Kang, letting her escape into our universe. Ally, much like Kid Loki has a Loki Variant sidekick/pet. Jazz, Jazz is a black furred female dog with the regular Loki horns strapped to her head. She was born female much like Ally, and Jazz was turned into a dog by Frigga after almost killing Thor. Which diverged from her path, and got pruned. Ally was pruned just a bit after Sylvie was caught, meaning Mobuis never met her. As I said, from the Multiverse, she came into the real world. That's where I come in! I dress up myself in my own version of Sylvie's outfit, and my dog, Jasmine, with horns!
Does that sound cool?
(P.S. unlike Sylvie, Ally has both horns on her helmet.)

Awesome! I needed to make a tactical vest from foam for a crossbones, and I took probably 50 shirts and put them on a hanger until I had a makeshift dumny

Should you being drawing registration marks on the darts too if darts are needed?

[lepwis]

How does one make a pattern for an elbow pad (for example) that doesn't go directly on the arm, but on top of the armour?

[FryedSaw]

I got a black hoodie with the sleeves cut off as layer #1 duct tape as layer #2 & crushed soda cans as layer for my upper chest and abs #3 and THEN upholstery snakeskin leather fabric by the yard as layer #5 so last I have the #RedBurlap to finish #GOODLUCK #JohnOfLocksley

[VIL]

Would love to see a Scorpion cosplay build (specifically from mortal kombat X) using these techniques. I'm in desperate need of a diy tutorial for it but there's nothing out there that's any good. All the mortal kombat ninja tutorials are silly in my opinion. Anyhoo, thanks for the video.

[jinx]

Can you use this to make long sleeves for a costume?

[mywaybystarlight]

If you’re patterning out for sewing (this is my first duct tape build) how much do you generally add on to account for seams? I know that a normal seam is 5/8s but do you add a bit more than that to be safe??
