sorry for the long delay!

I literally had 5 weeks in a row of business travel.  That means no access to my computer.  So, no surprise, very little of anything non-work-related got done.  The next page is in progress -- unfortunately, it won't get done until after this week, probably.

Why?

Two very awesome words:  Halloween costume.  Actually, make that 3 words:  epic Halloween costume.  It involves sewing -- the most complicated thing I have ever attempted to make.  So, in consolation, let me show you some reference pictures and my work in progress.

It has to be done by Thursday night.  Today's progress was that I got those @#$ ^%$# @#%%$ cuffs attached to the sleeves. They look really good now, but I was struggling with the interfacing, and which side goes where, and ended up unpicking two entire seams with a pin and scissors because I don't have a seam ripper.  I really need a seam ripper.

Anyway, I still have to attach the sleeves to the body (it's still downstairs by the ironing board).  Add interfacing to the body and the sleeves.  Sew the lining, and somehow attach this all together neatly so it doesn't have threads hanging all over the place.  Oh yeah, and then sew ribbon in that nifty pattern all over the front.

Doable, I think.  Really.  Wish me luck though (I could probably use it).


Oh, and here's Kiaron's face.  He is not impressed.

Have a great week!
