A skirt for a Empress

Seth's skirt is almost done. I've started the dreaded task of hand sewing the bottom upwards onto the lining. I'm trying to make it as neat as possible so I can brag about it later. Normally I would have just sewn it on and not cared but I'm trying my best to make it neat and clean for contests. I want to make this as I had always seen it in my mind. So it doesn't matter that this will be for a contest or two, it's my dream cosplay. I want to make it so I never want to take it off. And having it have neat edges and seams is the first step.


Since hand sewing this is time consuming and annoying I may not be finished until tomorrow. I need to finish my synopsis for my new novel for National Novel Writing Month for next month. Today I went went to a group job interview and I am beat. But I really want to get this skirt done so I can start on the train and finished this piece. The cassock is my main goal. I want it done as soon as I can. As well as the matching cape. I want it done because that means we are almost half way finished. I'd have to make Seth's dress then start on all the details. While I do that hopefully my fiance will start on the armor. We are getting Wonderflex for all armor pieces. It'll be our first time using Wonderflex and I'm pretty excited about it. I've done a lot of research and it seems like the best material to make armor out of.

We should be getting that in a week or two. Depending on when my fiance is ready to get it. Of course he'll need to make the molds first but there'll be lots of time while we wait for the Wonderflex to ship.  So that's it for now. I'll update once I work more on the skirt. No pictures tonight. I'm by far too lazy to put the camera together.

Thanks for reading!
