Gray Lantern Loaner Garb

Gray Lantern is an amtgard group located in Cheyenne, WY. When they did not win the prize package for loaner garb that Crimson Dawn won, I offered to do a package for them if they payed for the materials.

This was the original heraldry. I asked if they minded if I modified it a bit because some of the elements would not translate to sewing very well. I also wanted to give the lantern a more medieval look.

One tabard and one shirt were simply the park's colors.  Otherwise, I took heraldry elements and added some interest to the design.

I tried something interesting with the neck on this one. Rather than making the interfacing show as a pop of color, I chose to put it inside as you would on a modern garment,  and then I used a decorative stitch to still give it the look of a medieval tunic.

This was a fun project. It was a bit of a long time making because I kept having to put it behind other paying clients, but it went out around Christmas.
