Alright. I just have to smock the sleeves and then fell the inner seams by hand. Then I am gonna put it all on and take pictures in the trails by my house!!!!!!!

[madebykyra]

So I lied about finishing yesterday because I decided to hand smock my chemise

Because I love torture and think it would be funny to honeycomb smock my bee dress chemise

You are all not even ready for this dress. I haven’t been able to sleep for the last two days because I so excited. It’s almost done

[madebykyra]

The list to finish this dress before my trip is very short. I am excited to see the end of the dress

I think I will wear it to the coffee shop I have been frequenting to show the baristas. They have watched me embroider this from day 1

Some WIP for the first set of sleeves!!

Four months in the making and I am finally pleating the skirt. This is crazy

Skirt has been pleated and the pleats have been mapped. It’s time to fern this thing

Redid the entire lining of my bodice in one night. It looks sooo much better. Crazy what happens when I lock in

[wolfderolfe]

i had a vision last night that absolutely ruined me. a bra, but it’s overalls. denim with the straps you have to tie and everything. but it’s a bra!

I’m horrified that she’s actually considering it

[mctreeleth]

I mean, of course I would be considering it, having dumb sewing ideas is basically 90% of my personality.

…oh wait no I went one further than considering it I did do it…

I ended up not going with the front fly closure, in part because the shortest opened ended metal zipper I could get was 40cm long and also TWELVE DOLLARS(!) but also because I got annoyed with trying to work out the equivalent of a waistband for the bust curve - this one has a button closure at the centre back but I think next time I would go to the effort of sewing a proper bra hook-and-eye closure because it is a bit hard to wrangle on and off.

(If you want one of your own, the pattern for mine was once McCalls M7937 before I re-did it to my personal preferences and to be a bikini top rather than an outerwear top, but view B is pretty much this except slightly longer and with straps that are, you know, not overalls.)
