"BTW wax is more historical, but then so is seal grease, and I don't recommend that one. If you just want to waterproof it functionally without the wax, a full can of scotchguard will do the job, but has to be replaced if you ever wash it. On…"

"I advise extreme caution when working with linseed oil! Oil-soaked rags WILL likely eventually burst into flame (did the experiment, it's true) spontaneously! It's burned down many houses and shops in the past.

Consider an old overcoat for a pattern. Find something that fits, take it apart, and go from there.

Profile Information
- Introduction
- Good day! Dabbling is a specialty of mine and indeed, I dabble often. Among those things that occupy my life, one may find music, reading, soccer, costumes, languages, video games, architecture, photography and a few others. I study Arabic and Economics and as I type I'm listening to the call to prayer from my room in Cairo while enjoying Joanna Newsom's marvelous lyrical talent.
I've always enjoyed a rather keen steampunk sensibility but have really just been drifting around in it by myself. I'm not sure why I never made an effort to find like-minded individuals. That being said, I'm glad I've found some!
I enjoy DIY projects, especially when it comes to sewing, costuming, gadgets, makeup, and gardening. Most of all, I enjoy exploring life and the wonderful mysteries it contains!
