My first accomplishment of winter break

Since my last update I actually finished the top to my Kamikirimusi costume.

I hate sleeves.

Yes, a little ridiculous.  I’m still not very good when it comes to setting in sleeves and this is the only way I can do it without messing it up.  It works.

My arm got really tired.

My assistant/little sister pinned the hanging part of the sleeve for me.  I kinda free-handed it when cutting so it was really uneven and I wanted to make sure it was pinned to hang correctly when my arm is up.

My lovely assistant and I

She wanted credit when she was finished.  I think this will do.

Before I added the other sleeve and finished all the hems.

I had to put a make-shift bandage on my elbow.  I guess I slowly steam burned it while ironing..?  It hurt.

Tada!

So I added the other sleeve and finished all the hems!  I’m done with the top except for the distressing and painting.  I left the right sleeve as is because I haven’t figured how I want to cut it yet.

So no word on the serger yet.  I should have it tomorrow.. but if not, I’m just gonna go ahead with the commission.  I’m tired of waiting.
