I decided to do the neck collar thing just as a lil scarf and wear a black tank top under. Gotta prioritize

Workin on the belt rn

Ha. Ha ha ha.

Is there anything hidden snaps can’t do? NO

EZ PZ (until I top stitch the pleather pattern on lmao)

Ok time to stop fucking around and actually cut out the real fabric now. I can’t get the elastic for the arms until tomorrow but I don’t wanna just twiddle my thumbs bc the Halloween party is on the 14th

This will also be when I see if I need to add an interfacing layer to the shoulderpads or not

I should probably prewash the cotton tho huh. If I’m gonna “do it correctly” so it “doesn’t shrink” and stuff

Please imagine that last sentence in jojo quotes

successfully blocked out the bangs on my old Riku wig for restyling while waiting for laundry. It’s hard to tell in the photo but it really is the perfect shade of silver with lavender in it

Laundry taken out of dryer and both 8-yd chunks folded before they get unconscionably wrinkled

We are in a small heat wave and it’s hot as balls here, I am suffering slightly. But! The show goes on

the moment of truth. The back panel fits on the fabric width so that means I win

(I will cut it on the fold, I just had to double check first lol)

I have a blister on my thumb from trying to cut around the dead spot on my scissors

The original pattern said I would need eight yards of this stuff, I have at least 2 leftover lol

I know I’m short so that gives me some back but geez

But the day i try to calculate needing less is the day the layout forces me to need all of it, so. Into the remnants stash it goes

(And this is including adding shoulder pads and belt)

It’s still so warm, it feels like everything is taking twice as long as it should. Gonna rethread the serger and to the shoulder seams then call it a night maybe bc I think I am out of brain for pockets 2.0

All my patterns with side seam pockets are at my dads house and I think I am just, not gonna try to draft it again tonight

Shoulder seams done. Elbows and pockets tomorrow so I can be done cutting out the real fabric
