That looks fantastic! Especially the black squares. I like this idea more than than sewing fabric onto elastic, which always seems likely to be weird. I'm sure the singeing holds up perfectly ("real" weathering usually does), but do you know if any of the rest will survive the laundry? Not that they're likely to be laundered very often, admittedly, but if they ever got especially filthy and needed to be tossed in, it would be unfortunate if those squares turned purple or something. Could always reapply, but still. Any issues with bleeding onto the underlying flightsuit?No issues at all with bleeding onto the flight suit. Spraying with Scotch Guard would more likely ensure this, which I didn’t do.
Now that I've said all that, I'm contemplating fabric paints...
Have not laundered. I Imagine the black marker would hold up decently. Might have to go over it again after a wash. Scotch guard may also help with that too.
Anyway, they held up really nice. Wore the whole suit 4 or 5 nights Halloween week. Looking forward to maybe doing WonderCon or maybe a screening. Definitely not waiting a whole year to suit up again.
