  • SOUND ON. I convinced my partner to help do antler install on his mask. We couldn’t decide whether the squeaking sounded like our birds chuckle laugh or a distressed dolphin 🤣

  • Now it’s beginning to look like an animal!

  • Whatever am I stitching now? (hint: it’s smol and flutters)

  • Installing the zipper on front top panels, on a curve, dealing with ease, was immensely fiddly! I can not overstate that enough.

  • 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…

  • I’m going to sew up the legs of the suit first. I spent literally the whole morning tracing out the pieces, cutting, and clipping.

  • I’m at it again with the flat seaming. Also added the collar. Almost done now!

  • Finally sewing up my partners last ‘fun’ shirt. I’m hungry for donuts just looking at it.

  • Finalised the sleeves in prep for fur cutting. The original sleeve was embarassingly too large so I reduced the armhole (old sleeve). This was too small and stretched the sleeve/torso sections. Some slight modifications and I have a sleeve that is tight but not too tight, and doesn’t stretch (new sleeve).

  • Decided to make myself a bee themed crafting apron using a different pattern. This one won’t have a zippered pocket, but the pockets will be deeper and the finishing will be much cleaner I think.
