Seeing the boots and jacket nearly done are making me feel a lot better about finishing this

Jacket is close to done! I've added horsehair braid to the hem of the jacket for a little extra flair. Gotta do a HEAVY pressing, some handsewing, and the closure but she's coming along! Flatlay hopefully tomorrow~

Verdict: NOPE lol. Enough for one side but not the other. That's on me for wanting it all one piece I suppose.
That aside, the jacket is coming together nicely! I'll switch over to boots for tonight and get back on the jacket tomorrow~

Spent part of tonight digging through the stash to see if I have enough matte white satin for the trim. Verdict: MAYBE! I'll see tomorrow and possibly buy some Friday! But the jacket and lining are cut - lined in scuba to give it some body, I'm also probably gonna put horsehair along the hem?

These were cut long so I could figure out the real length with upper bit when I finalized the jacket sleeve length, but!!!! They even have zippers so I can more easily wriggle a hand out if needed (which I may or may not use but I am a professional lmao)
Oh my GOD did these fight me. Wowowow

Shorts need a touch of handsewing but then they're done. They even have back pockets and lining (the pen marks the bottom of the pocket)
The white vinyl is giving me ✨️problems✨️so that may be the deciding factor in all this 🫠

I'm still not 100% happy with it? But I think it's okay enough to keep at least for now, so I'll move on to finishing this tonight and slamming out some more tomorrow~!

Okay doing running stitches down the seams helped a bit? But I still hate the shape. So I'm gonna try taking in the front and back drastically before giving up and rebuying 🥲

My birthday got forgotten at work (ngl I was pretty bummed), and my favorite librarian found out. He surprised me with this today 😭💖

The shirt needs a lot of handsewing and pressing, as well as the upper collar and X ties (it has a side zip to actually get into it lol)
I'm not 100% happy with it? But I'm gonna give it a bit more work before I rebuy fabric. I love the color and texture of the shell, but it's so soft and loose💀

Whoops caught me slacking 😅😖anyway the shirt is now fully mocked up and ready to cut. It'll have a side zip for a smooth front. Gonna take a quick break to run an errand, then back to it. My goal by Monday is to have the shirt done, cape done (easy work), and the jacket mocked up. Shorts.. we'll see

I started second guessing myself, and pulled out the fabric I used as a tablecloth at my booth for a 3rd option.
Uh? But then I pulled out the charagumin and nevermind the light is actually correct. Like, could not be more correct. So now as long as I have motivation to clean and sew, here we go?

Okay THIS is a more accurate to the eye color representation. Though I suppose if I have to fight with it so much to photograph correctly on a phone, it may be not worth it to use 🤔 and while I could dye the lighter just a touch, that is literally my least favorite thing sooo
