Hello Trigun-enjoyers! I've worked really hard on this pattern and am excited to share it with you guys. My goal is to get as many people as possible cosplaying the nation's babygirl, Vash The Stampede, and to that end, I've made my instructions as beginner friendly as I can!

[UPDATE] Instructions were awarded "Outstanding Text Tutorial" by the 2023 cosplay tutorial challenge! Thank you so much!!!

What's cool about this pattern from @SarahMcCostumes is how it's explained WHY things are done, and alternatives are offered -- it shows you can still learn new things, even in depth, from a pattern

So if you've NEVER EVER SEWN ANYTHING BEFORE, HERE AND NOW IS THE TIME TO START!!!!

• This pattern is available for sizes 88cm-112cm chest measurement. Measure round your chest and then go for the size closest to your measurement. [UPDATE: I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON ADDING LARGER SIZES, THESE SHOULD BE AVAILABLE IN MAY, IF THEY ARE NOT PLEASE HARRASS ME ABOUT IT]
• there are THREE variants of the coat - the first has the body in one piece, the other two have an overlapping yoke cape. There's lots of options
• Coat is cut to already be quite roomy, so I wouln't reccomend going up a size to get an oversize look
• It is cut using "menswear" cutting guidelines, meaning it will sit better on someone with broader shoulders and a flatter chest. If you don't have these things, store bought (shoulder pads and safe chest binding) is fine

• Seeds patches will be available eventually from my friend's shop HERE!! (toolongdidntreadclothing.com)
• my mate andy isnt allowed to buy this because he told me he's trying to cut down on cosplans

I'm not going to lie, there's definitely easier things you could start your sewing journey with..  The cut of this coat is very simple,  and that actually makes it harder to sew, since there's no frills or flounces to hide your mistakes under. There's also a bit of a tricky part around the shoulder - you may have noticed Vash has a double segmented roll thingy on his shoulder - Setting a sleeve in is one of the harder things you can do in sewing, and on this garment you will have to do that twice per arm. Sorry 'bout it but thats just what looked best!

IF YOU ARE A CONFIDENT SEWIST, THE PATTERN-IS AVAILABLE BY ITSELF FOR HALF PRICE
