evanaeOh, Fanime.
Here, have some progress pics.
GAY KITTY BOY
The stupid shirt...Bah. I accidentally cut the pieces shorter than I intended to twice, so I added that piece on the bottom -- hence the cuff-like hem, lol. I'm not sure if it's quite long enough...but whatever. Done. I'm starting to HATE working with jersey or anything with a stretch cuz I always forget to mind which way the stretch goes when I cut things out. >__>;
I feel like I have no wrists with those arm warmers, lol.
The pants are made of linen with this purple cord-like thing I found at Joann's sewn on for the pinstripes. I didn't know it frayed to the high seas, so uh Fray Check has been a god send for me on this and it came out better than I thought it would, so yay~ Also, pattern size charts FAIL. According to my waist and hip measurements, I should be a pattern size 14. I think I'm really like a 10...The only part that fits me in 14 is my ass. .__. IDEK. I also dunno why I bothered with making pockets for these; it just kinda happened, lol.
I just need to sew the inseam of the pants together, finish the waistband, put on a hook thing and voila done!
THE BOOKWORM
The Spartoi coat wasn't too hard to make but there are some stupid mistakes; like the shoulders, wtf. No wonder I felt that I looked odd in it. Well, I hope readjusting those will fix the appeared fatness/boxy-ness. It doesn't help that I'll be wearing lots layers. u__u; It was also hard to get that v-neck collar to match up, but ah well the sailor collar and tie will cover all that.
It was also the first time I made buttonholes! Ommggg!! It's SO EASY to do it on my machine. I've no idea why I avoided them 'till now. (Well, I don't think I've needed to make them 'till now either...)
