several drawings I did of different religious/traditional head coverings in west and Central Asia !!!
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)
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!
buttons!!!!!!
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
this has the benefit of kind of squashing down any tulle that didn't get trimmed
and now it moves with the fabric and doesn't stick up at the edges!
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
when your art program’s closing message hits you straight in the heart and makes you stop and contemplate the state of it all
This is sickkkkk
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
There's something so deeply calming about watching megafauna prance and gambol about like they're little lambs
Bison pronking is already so magical, and then the double rainbow and the happy birdsong just put it way over the top
