Progress! The entire back of the suit is completed. The front needs the side zipper installed before the top gets sewn to the bottom, then both halves will be joined and finished. I don’t have an overlocker, but I have been finishing the seams using a stretch blanket stitch on the machine, so effectively all…

The crest rigging has been driving me insane…
