the front panels of a button up shirt cut out of embroidered floral tulle and overlapped such that the embroidery pattern is continuousALT
the halves no longer overlapped so that the individual button bands are visibleALT
the back of a button band; the front is a pale pink that shows through the tulle, but the back is multicolored small floral printALT

due to factors such as "time pressure" and "tulle is of the devil" my expectations for this shirt are not high. but i spent a lot of time imagining these button bands and they turned out pretty nice

sleepnoises

The back piece of a shirt made from floral tulle. The yoke (fitted part around neck and shoulders) has five panels, the seams of which are very visible because the tulle is layered multiple times.ALT
A collar, not attached to a shirt. It has cut out bits of the tulle with embroidered leaves on them stuck to it.ALT
Close photo of the collar, fake-attached to a shirt on a person, held on with a pinch to the front. The person is also wearing a green blazer.ALT

progress on this includes:

  • attached the back and the yoke; did the yoke with wonky little panels for reinforcement(?), as it's not double-layered, and for a fun symmetrical piecing moment
  • attached fronts to back at shoulders (not pictured)
  • constructed a collar and collar stand and arranged Leafs upon it
  • started hand stitching down leafs. it would be more elegant to do this before assembling the collar, but i can't visualize how both the seam allowances and the crease in the collar work + the tulle is itchy if misplaced

have yet to do sleeves, side seams, finishing hand stitching on collar, attaching collar, sleeve plackets (on tulle??), cuffs, Buttonholes (evil to me)

Tulle shirt with floral embroidery hanging backlit in a windowALT

Shirt's done except for finishing the collar handstitching & touching up some of the buttonholes (used a friend's fancy machine with varying success). Lots of things wrong with it that are hard to see from more than three feet away

No pictures of it on me because I have yet to obtain a suitable layering piece which is a really funny problem to have!

Finished the collar! If you want to make embroidery you cut out of some tulle look like it is On There For Real this is what I did

  • roughly cut out and place embroidery. baste with glue stick (glue sticks to the back of the embroidery and not the tulle)
  • tack it down with a color matched running stitch (or whatever) along the stems and centers
  • cut off more tulle from the edges with tinier scissors
  • tack down the edges. with, in this case, a different thread color, do a faux chain stitch where you grab the very end of a stitch from the extant embroidery
  • like so
needle poking up through fabric a little beyond one of the stitches on the tulleALT
needle poked through the end of a stitch on the tulleALT
needle returning to the hole it came out ofALT
finished stitchALT

this has the benefit of kind of squashing down any tulle that didn't get trimmed

Shirt collar with embroidered fern-like leaves stitched to itALT

and now it moves with the fabric and doesn't stick up at the edges!

Camilla Hect off the leash was like light moving across water. She punched her knives into the Lyctor's guard over and over and over. Cytherea met them ably, but such was Camilla's speed and perfect hate that she could only hope to block the thunderstorm of blows; she could not even begin to push back against them. This gave Gideon time to stand, to ready her sword and slide her gauntlet home, biting the straps tight with her teeth. It was a relief to know she would never have to tell Camilla that her necromancer had died. She was already fighting as though her heart had exploded.ALT
Camilla grabbed her sleeve. Gideon looked down into her solemn, obstinate face, and Camilla said "He say anything?" Gideon wavered. He said to tell you he loved you," she said. "What? No, he didn't." "Okay, no, sorry. He said- he said you knew what to do?" "I do," said Camilla with grim satisfaction, and laid herself back down among the bones.ALT
Camilla was huddled in a corner, now standing upright that was probably her own last fuck-you salute but her wounded arm hung uselessly. She had lost a lot of blood. Her face was now pallid olive. "Ninth," said the Sixth impatiently. "Get out of here. Take your necromancer. Go." "Hell no," said Gideon. "It's time for round two."ALT
WHAM. One of the tentacles battered a crack in the shield: daylight streamed in from outside. Harrow looked even worse in the light. Camilla said steadily: "Let me out. I can provide the distraction." "Cram it already, Hect," said Gideon, not looking away from her necromancer, who was painfully serene as even her eyebrows bled. "I'm not getting haunted by Palamedes Sextus's crappy-ass revenant all telling me doctor facts for the rest of my life, just because I let you get disintegrated."ALT

i’m camillaposting yet again but this entire sequence of events is such a gut punch… she knew what to do but her heart had exploded. for this tiny sliver of time, that grief and anger was overpowering everything else. camilla the sixth is no fool! she knew that going back out there as a distraction would get her incapacitated at best and killed at worst, and she knew that she had to stay alive to get back to palamedes. but her heart had exploded. everything else was background noise

obsessed with whatever corona and camilla have going on in ntn btw. 'she hates it when i use millie now.' 'my soul's mine. you give yourself away to anyone who doesn't want you.' 'i've kept your secrets before...you know that.' 'come back with me. leave the facility. before the negotiator arrives, come back with us.' the way corona introduces herself as cam's partner because she knows it would make her furious. ‘maybe you could be the one to melt her icy heart.’ the exes vibes are off the CHARTS but then when nona analyses the shit out of corona she says that actually all corona wants is for camilla to cuddle her ‘but not in a sexy way’ which has me poking them with a stick even MORE. i need to study them like bugs
