Blue/Green Apron Progress

I'm working with some truly gorgeous fabric to make an apron for one of my cousins, and it looks like afterwards I'll have enough left to make something else from the remnant. The solid blue (used for the pockets and trim) is left over from the blue/yellow corset vest I made for a friend. Since I don't have enough of any of those fabrics to be the main part of a piece, I'll use up the extra in little ways like this. 

  

A piece of blue/green fabric which looks like it's a series of bubbles or other swirling shapes, with hints of lavender like light. It's cut into the shape of one piece of an apron, with a dark blue square for a pocket placed midway up. It's on a cutting mat with an inch grid of squares on the mat's surface.

Blue/Green Moth - Wings and Magnets

Image
I've had several days of steady progress on the moth. The lower wings have wire frames around the edges, small magnets in the wing tips, and topstitching for the wing veins. I'm mostly done adding the magnets to the upper wings, but I still have a few to go. I want the final moth to be able to hang out on the fridge (hence the magnets), so one of the images is from when I tested whether the magnets could hold a wing on the fridge.

Quilted Vest - Done with Bias Tape

Image
I have finished adding bias tape to all parts of the hem, the last bit was the horizontal lower hem, and that's done now. This is a partial photo because I want to save the full thing until I do the last step. I only have one cloth piece left to attach, but it involves at least two rounds of ironing, so it'll have to wait another day. Then I need to decide once and for all which fastening method I'll use, and attach whatever is necessary. The pattern recommends a combination of leather and cording, but I have a few ideas I'm considering instead. I have dexterity issues, so I want a closure method that is as low-frustration as possible for me. I love this vest, I love how it feels and how it sits on my body. I'm so excited to get to wear it once the final bits are in place.

Quilted Jacket Progress

Image
Eventually this will be a quilted vest and half-tunic that are worn together. I'm hoping to finish assembling the half-tunic today, then I'll finish the vest. Evening Update: I hemmed and attached the sleeves, then completed part of the bottom hem. After that I’ll need to add grommets and cording, then it’s on to the long quilted vest which goes over this.
