Well some sewing was done today. So let me get you up to speed.
I planned for a longer time to create the actual top from the magazine for my beloved Goth-Lolita Outfit.
I did not really have the time to make it for dokomi since I was pretty certain I will need to make alterations to the pattern from the magazine (its one-size only in there).
So I got myself some cheap cotton (it was like 5€/m with shipping included). I ordered 6m and ended up using 5m for sure here. I did not cut out the frill-pieces here since I don’t need them for fitment.
I love the big sleeves generally. They will be so much fun!
Cutting itself went well. I even used my green ikea plates as cutting weights lol. Surely fun.
I did some of the easy sewing as well and attached the back and front parts. Trying it on it is as I thought it would be mostly.
The back part is just not wide enough. I expected that so I will need to widen the back of the pattern. Thats why I like to do prototypes. First I can learn the construction of the garment and I have an easier time seeing how it fits me and how I may need to alter it.
Really looking forward to making and fitting those magnificent sleeves!
