long story short: Cat is silly and scraped herself on something.
so much stressssssssss.
Aion is at a point I can set it aside and focus on my other big Katsu costume…
I took a risk and ordered some last minute supplies from farthingale’s and bless their Canadian hearts, they shipped and I got my bones and coutil in 2 days, despite snow storms. Talking with Shushu about our Sailor group, I decided to try a different approach to the top I was going to make, which I think will be better in the long run. 
Instead of making a shirt, I’ll be making a double layered corset. This’ll keep everything in place nicely while I wear it, and also help slim the squishy bits that aren’t supposed to be squishy. Like my stomach and love handles.
I DO NOT LOVE THOSE HANDLES.
THEY CAN GO AWAY NOW PLSKTHNX.
Anyways, with no one to help me make a tape pattern, no seran wrap, and no overbust pattern, I improvised with some extra plastic bags and my dress form.
It was… a lot easier than I’d expected actually.
I also made a to-do list, that I forgot at Work. So here we are:
Thursday
- finish panniers
- drape skirts and cut fabrics
- run load of laundry
- cut out bolero’s vest
- make green bias tape
- cast gems (2)
- sew corset layers
- do the dishes
- sew underskirts
- panic-sleep
Friday
- muslin bows
- sew sleeves
- cut out bows
- make choker
- make red bias tape
- combine bolero
- finish skirts
- prep tiara stuff
