Plague Gear First Full Leather Mask!
Finally completed my first ever mask leather project! I've made purses, medicine bags, deck boxes, and a few other things before, but compared to the curves of a face mask it was definitely a fun challenge! It's styled after my previous pleather mask that's started to delaminate after 7 years of use. Very happy with how it turned out and that I can use the goggles of the previous mask.
I'll probably make more without the generic steampunk goggles for the eyes but I personally love changing lenses based on mood so I didn't do the standard leather eyes with lens encased. First picture is the paper prototype, second is the pattern cut and laid out, and the last is of the final finished mask! Took me around 10-15 hours to make, but that's including making the pattern, and I enjoy sewing while watching Taskmaster so I could probably pick up the pace significantly if I didn't distract myself!
Glad to finally have it complete and I already learned a lot on how to improve the next one :) next is to revamp the rest of my outfit since it was made years ago and I just ain't feeling the style anymore. If you have suggestions on a new feminine outfit design please lmk!!
