I guess I should be flattered!

Some cheeky bugger retouched Colin Baker's head onto my body!

Sixth Doctor costumes in the making!

 Today I'm starting the process of retrospectively bringing my blogs up to date.

Over the past few years I have become increasingly busy and finding time to post has been limited, so I have defected to Instagram as my default site for sharing what I've been up to.

Here is some work I have been doing on various Sixth Doctor commissions.

Do get in touch if there's anything that catches your eye!

These were some trousers I made. Always nice to see my label inside!


I do love making the Frock Coat. I've made so many now I go on auto-pilot and it can be quite therapeutic and satisfying to see it coming together.


All done - ready to ship out to the client!

Also ordered were some spats!

My spats are patterned directly from a screen worn pair. Studying them closely it became apparent they were possibly done a little on the cheap as they don't entirely sit straight and some finer details of construction are a somewhat jarring to the eye of an experienced tailor.

I therefore took the view to tweak their cut a to improve how they sit and rectify the construction so they will last longer for day-to-day cosplay wear.
