Sleeves are done!

Yes, the sleeves on Alice's dress are FINALLY done. That means the whole bodice is finished. There are some small things to do, hand sewing in the back to fix the fabric that is near the zipper, I also need to put on some Steam A Seam to get the ruffles from sliding downwards. I'm so glad to be finished with the sleeves as I hate cap sleeves and they were a bit troublesome. But, I am happy with how it has turned out. The chiffon looks really nice.

I would have started on the hemming of the skirt but it was so hot today! And I don't do good in heat due to my health issues. So I couldn't stay upstairs for very long. But I did get them done and I'm quite happy about that. So now all that is left are the same fixes and the hemming plus ruffles. Then I will be done. I'm guessing it will take me about two-three days to finish depending on the heat. Then I can start on Oz and hopefully get him done before August so I have lots of time to get everything else done.

Right now I'm working on getting the missing piece of Abel's rosary done so I can put on the new chain. As seen below, the piece is in the center with spikes. I made this piece right before Sakura-con but I made it too big and didn't have time to re-do it so I'll be making a smaller one so it will fit nicely and wont look crazy huge.

Reminds me of a spider. 

The larger picture shows the full rosary and shows just how important the piece is since it is in the center and is a main view point. We will be entering our TB cosplays in the contest at Kumori-con for the last time. As next year our new TB cosplays will remove these ones. So it may be the last time we wear them for a while. It will be the last contest, that is for sure.
