Lennier Outfit - Front Seams

I'm attaching the triangular front panel to the shirt, it involves the bias tape I made recently. It's turning out really well! The purple thread is basting which will be removed when I finish it.

Two fabrics joined by a stripe of bias tape. The fabric on the left is green with orange/gold, like oxidized copper. The fabric on the right is a blueish gray with white. The bias tape is a different rocky pattern in purple and threads of yellow.

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.
