Construction process of the animated spider legs for a collar.

What started as a fun idea turned into an insane mechanical design and it's crazy how well Kem managed to make this happen!

If a job is available because the previous employee is fighting for their rights, then that job isn't available.

Aside from the 4 sleeves patterns & mock-ups I've prepared the international structure of the vest, and added some floating canvas by hand. This is shown on the last picture with the X shaped catch stitch. Everything without a seam allowance on the vest is secured this way. I still need to prepare the sleeves, but I'm already looking forward to sewing everything together. The sleeves for the Black Widow costume have been a journey the past days, to the point I just started cutting minor alterations while wearing the garment pinned. But how much I already like this shape, how slim the back and waist fall added some floating canvas by hand. This is shown on the last picture with the X shaped catch stitch.

I'm so hyped, the Black Widow corset fits so well and feels so comfy.

Funny fact: there is 6m steel boning of verious widths and typed in this corset.

A little view of the day filmed with a camcorder.☺️

Glad to be back, it's been awhile.

I've been finishing the edges of the corset by hand sewing them on the inside. Here is a timelapse of 1 hour of sewing in one minute. This is just one of the 4 sides and it takes up a lot of time, but whoww what is the result worth it.

Workshop update, ironing wall.

Having all ironing tools and wig making in one place, I still need to sort out some wig making tools

This will make my life so much easier

Here is the finished top of one half of the corset, with the inside handsewn in place.

I've altered the top line of the corset multiple times, sewed in some boning, and made bias tape from the bridal silk.

Robe reveal! I started it in late 2023, assembled the patchwork & lining, & shelved it in Spring 2024. Picked it back up a couple weeks ago & added the red trims. It made a *slight* dent in my scrap stash 😅

Sheenah is cosplaying as Aerith from the video game Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis. She's looking at the camera, leaning against a column and crossing her arms.

Overexcited with the Black Widow corset test fitting.
This is with only steel busk and lace boning and a spiral bone on the cup line.

some real time embroidery! I’m distinctly neater on the second side which is kind of annoying but that’s how it goes. Hopefully the difference won’t be too visible to anyone but me!

The corset for the "Black Widow" is ready for a test fitting, I'm super excited and tired as well.
I can't wait to fit it.

It's currently boneless aside from the busk.
