More hat progress!
Will I get this done by my deadline? We'll see. But it is nice to finally be in a groove.

I have been trying to engineer this waterfall pleat for weeks and I finally got something I'm happy with

I continue to fuss with this mantle mockup
Scalloped pleats on an angle...smh
As it turns out, the best solution is box pleats that are then cut to the desired angled scallop.

(Flashbacks to yards upon yards of box pleated trim for Klee)

Bsky Intro! I'm Appliquefae, and I've been cosplaying since 2011 and competing since 2013. I love detail work, artistic liberty, and I tend to fixate on particular fandoms for many years. I love talking craftsmanship and weird uses of embroidery machines!

Some work on the mantle and the bow on top of her hat over the weekend
