This labor day for me was spent relaxing and designing an armor shirt.
Based upon the scales of a dragon it uses overlapping layers of scale like pieces.
I want to end up making a full length piece from waist to neck and long sleeves. The design was fairly simple.
Now the making of it will take the longest time. Each piece willhave to be cut and sewn or riveted together. Not sure which road I will take.
Finding the right leather will be a process unto itself. Fitting is never easy either.

My full length hooded cloak pattern will be of great help on this project as getting the arms and shoulders right is one of the trickiest things I have done.
But in the end it will be worth it.
Updates and pictures will be shared as I progress through this project.
