Description This is a tutorial on how to make my G1 Soundwave sweater. YAAAAY.

As soon as I finish the pants, I'll put up a quick tutorial for those, too. (I'm not in a hurry to finish those, honestly...mostly because PortCon is over and I also don't want to get stabbed in the leg again. XD)

Anyway. Sorry that there's so many parts where I use blue fabric instead of white, or where I show you something that you're supposed to do in the next step, but I already have done (you'll see what I mean when you look it over). I obviously already finished it, and I wasn't about to go and make a second one just for the tutorial. DX

As for supplies, they were really cheap; I got all the fabric and ribbon I needed at Jo-Ann's fabric store for under ten dollars, and I found the sweater at Goodwill for ten dollars, and the iron on sticky was just lying around the house, so I'm not entirely sure how much a roll of that stuff costs. You should definitely get some soft stretchy fabric for the sleeves, anyway, even if there is something cheaper...it will look and feel so much better than something cheap, like a sheet or fabric that's totally different than your sweater.

So if anyone tries this, could you put it up on deviantart and let me know so I can link it here? I'm under the impression that that's how tutorials work...and if not, I still want to see everyone's Soundwave hoodie. And if there's anything that doesn't make any sense or isn't clear enough, ask me and I'll try to make it clearer.

This. is. so. AWESOOOME!!!! Soundwave was my first actual favorite character EVER!! (Even though I'm a girl, but as 6 years old, my favorite movie was Star Wars). I was searching around for some Soundwave Cosplay (I absolutely looove Cosplay) for daily life, then I ran over THIS BABY!!!!!!

I am totally gonna try and make this !!!!

(BTW: Where did you get that Hoodie? I can't seem to find any in my size in my country)

I actually found the hoodie at Goodwill, but this is it right here:

www.jerzees.com/996MR.shtml?me…

and the color is 'royal'~ I'll be honest, I definitely lucked out finding it; I went to Goodwill thinking I might find a sweater in the right color but no hood, or a hoodie in the right size but the wrong color, but I walked right in and it was sitting there for five bucks. O:

Anyway, good luck and let me know when you've finished! I can't wait to see it!

I am literally going to have so much fun crafting this the minute I get some time. It's just. So. Fragging. COOL.

(And I would've said hi at the con. I probably would've hugged you too)

This is awesome. I've always been a huge Soundwave fan. I'm actually working on a hat with a pull down facemask version of Soundwave right now. I get the feeling that I'm gonna have to atleast try your project. My only question is do you think it would work if I just bought a white hoodie too and used the lower arms instead of sewing new ones?...b/c those cuffs scare me lol.

Oh, yes, absolutely. The cuffs aren't hard to make, but I will make a better version of the tutorial at some point. I realize the cuffs are the hardest part, and the fact that I've given next to no help is kind of...well, stupid. XD

Glad you like it so much! And I wish you the best of luck if you make one, it's a lot of fun. X3

Only if you're good at craft, which I assure you I'm not. I've made a wallet out of duct tape, and that's about it. If I were anywhere near as good as you at what you do (and not half as lazy!), I'd be as rich as Creosote by now.

Well, you've got to practice, you know? There was a time when the most I could do was a duct tape wallet, and even that looked like crap. XD Although I still have to work on the laziness thing.

Ach, same. I can never get motivated to do shit, but when I do people always seem pleased with the results.

I suppose it's better than the alternative, though...being super motivated but making nothing but crap. >.>
