The carolean soldier - my first self-made costume

Ever since I attended conventions, I really wanted to try making my own costumes but never took the time to learn since I thought I couldn't do it right. But in the spring of 2013, I decided to give it a shot and the result was a uniform worn by the caroleans: the elite soldiers of Sweden in the early 18th century. Not by any means perfect, but still proud of what I accomplished on my first try.
