One of them is Smee, Captain Hook\u00b4s boatswain. Smee is a scary, fighting pirate, and he needs a flexible armor for protection. (Good thing I went leather-shopping yesterday!) I made a pattern for an armor to cover part of his chest and stomach and cut two pieces in leather.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20790\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MG_1376-450x300.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_1376\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" =\"https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MG_1376.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MG_1376-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"><\/p>\n<p>Keeping the two layers together with paper-clips instead of needles, makes it a lot easier. I cut the layers into strips, one going horizontal, the other vertical. I left about 1\/2 an inch along the top on one and on &amp;amp;nbsp;the side on the other. Then I started to weave the two pieces together.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20791\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MG_1377-450x300.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_1377\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" =\"https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MG_1377.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MG_1377-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"><\/p>\n<p>It took some time, but the result is quite good so far. Still elastic, but much more stable. When I was done, I made a double seam along the edges, to keep everything in place. Next in line is to attach the straps to fasten it. I might need an actual body to try it on when I\u00b4m doing that, to make sure the straps&amp;amp;nbsp;will be angled right.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20792\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MG_1379-450x300.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_1379\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" =\"https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MG_1379.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MG_1379-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"><\/p>\n<p>What do you think?
