Recent Progress Journals
2 weeks and counting...
KuroStylrIt's painfully clear that this cosplay is going to be cutting it very fine when it's done. That said, mega progress today with the doublets finished and the trousers just needing gathering at the leg and the white ankle/calf cuffs adding. Once that's done it's on the shirt!
Jacket Started
WingedWalrusNot as much progress as I wanted this weekend, but the jacket fabric arrived so Ive started on that. So far just got the basic body and sleeves done, but still need to add the collar, cuffs, zip and pocket decorations. Sadly I'll probably have to go against my rule of no-fake-pockets as the jacket is so short and barely comes past my chest... but we'll see.
Starting point
TheStarlightFairyI'm making the main dress from 'smooth touch velvet', which is actually from the household section at work! It's so soft and has a lovely flow/drape to it so it works really nicely for dressmaking! The whole group is using the same Simplicity pattern so that we all match! I'm so excited to make this and be part of a sailor squad again <3
