This is my new piece for my steampunk character!! In my local steampunk group, when I first joined, I was one of the few who knew how to sew my own costume. I was also known for bringing along a sewing kit/costume repair kit with me everywhere we went. I was trying to come up with accessories to help put the "punk" in my steampunk costumes and I thought this would be fun to make, since it is an accessory that played to the above traits. To create this bracer, I came up with all the bits that went onto it. The scissors were a gift from a fellow member of the steampunk group I am in. I ordered the bodkin (yarn needle looking piece) on ebay. The thimble was a cheap one I had in a sewing kit and I bought new bobbins and threaded steampunky colors onto the bobbins.
