About this product
Product Information
Sewing for Superheroes is the fifth title in Marie Porter's Spandex Simplified series, and is all about designing and creating flattering, comfortable, and show-stopping spandex cosplay. (BAM! POW!) This sewing manual is written from the experience of not only a spandex designer, but a former performance athlete. Written in layman terms, Sewing for Superheroes features carefully explained, step-by-step instructions and more than 250 full colour photos and diagrams. Requiring only basic sewing knowledge to get started, beginner and advanced seamstresses alike can enjoy using this book... and produce spectacular results from it. Learn how to design costumes, and how to alter patterns for shape, size, and style. Learn the tips, tricks, and techniques to make many of the design elements that can be used to design and create almost any style of spandex costume imaginable! Please note: As spandex patterning and sewing techniques are largely the same across many styles of costuming, a large portion of each Sewing with Spandex title is the same/similar to the other Sewing with Spandex titles. We recommend consulting the Table of Contents for each book you're considering: Foreword Basic Principles of Spandex Design - Proper Fit & Design Considerations - Figure Flaw Camouflage - Designing for the Character - Visibility - Functionality - General Colour Theory - Choosing a Posing Suit Colour - Unity - Selecting Fabrics Pattern Alterations - Measuring - Using a Pattern - Sizing a Pattern - Adding Length - Removing Length - Adjusting Curve of the Back - Adjusting the Butt Length - Adjusting for Leg Openings - Adjusting the Skirt Line - Ruching - Base Pattern Alteration Final Notes Sewing Techniques - In the Beginning - Cutting the Fabric - Seams - Elastic Application - Thread Colour Selection - Colour Blocking - Applique - Piping - Contrasting Elastic Binding - Lining - Zippers - Closures - Making Straps - Making Strings - Hems Style Techniques - Backs and Necklines - Monokini & Cutaway Design - Skirts Costume Assembly - Basic Order of Operations - Applying a Sleeve - Tights - Booty Shorts - Unitards - Skirted Costumes - Basic Bikini Bottom - Strappy Bikini Bottom - Basic Mens Trunks - Basic Triangle Top - Basic Underwire Top - Underwired Bodices Embellishments - Getting Started - Hand Painting - Foil Embossing - Glitter - Crystals - Sequins Accessories - Scrunchies - Wristlets, Leg Warmers, Padding Covers - Gloves - Shoe & Boot Covers - Stockings Proper Care of Spandex Costumes Resources Note Pages

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

Book arrived safely packaged in perfect order. Item as described, new. Thank you Rarewaves Outlet. Fascinating book, great addition to my collection. Great price. Would recommended this seller. No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
