I sewed together the corset vest front panels, and now I'm working on top-stitching the seams for both halves. It already looks like a vest, partly because of how distinctive the shape is with just a few pieces connected #HandSewn

Yesterday was a fabric cutting morning, I cut the fabric for a corset vest I'm planning to wear to work. The front will be the yellow floral fabric, with a red back and a brown lining. #HandSewn

I hand-sew and I take commissions, this particular quilted vest is one of my favorite garments I've made, I wear it all the time. I also made an enormous moth from a plushie pattern by @beezeeart.bsky.social that I scaled up.

Today was also a fabric cutting day! This time for a commissioned piece using Simplicity 9620 as a starting point, but the end result will be heavily modified and won't look much like that pattern at all.
Also, glitter. So much glitter. #HandSewn

I love how in every design there's a point where it suddenly looks like the thing it was going to be. The Minbari Palazzo Pants have reached that point! The only things remaining are the waistband and the leg hems. #HandSewn #Babylon5

Here is where the Lennier outfit turns very firmly from "Lennier cosplay" to "I want to borrow Minbari aesthetics but make my own thing." I'm making palazzo pants!

Mysteriously (not at all predictably) it turns out that if it takes a day to make 8 feet of bias tape, it takes two days to make 16 feet. #HandSewn
