Future suit
I got a yard of this fabric from the remnants bin at Joann's Fabric some time back and have been hanging on to it in hopes that my sewing skills would eventually reach the point where I feel ready to try sewing a suit with it. It's a very thin fabric, possibly originally meant for lining fabric, but it should drape quite well on an action figure body and it has a lovely pinstripe to it. And if I mess up my first try, a yard is a lot of fabric when working in 1:6 scale! I feel confident enough to try my hand at dress trousers, though when it comes to a matching jacket, I might need to see if I can find a Ken jacket pattern to start off with, then alter it to fit a larger sized figure.
