Lennier Outfit - Palazzo Pants - Panels Assembled

The four Minbari Palazzo pants panels are assembled (front right and left, back right and left)! I have bias tape borders around any changes in fabric between other panels. Because of the way the pants will meet the shirt, I decided to have grey in the back and green/orange in the front and along the sides, to best match the shirt without having everything look askew if something doesn't line up perfectly once I'm wearing it. The next steps involve attaching these panels to each other so they start to be pants, then comes the waistband (which will use the purple fabric that comprises the bias tape).

Part of what helps the purple bias tape connect the panels without looking out of place is that it has the same yellow/gold color in it which, in larger quantities, forms the bulk of the orange-ish sections in the green/orange fabric. 

The front right panel for a pair of palazzo pants, made from two orange/green panels, one grey panel, and purple bias tape. The front left panel for a pair of palazzo pants, made from two orange/green panels, one grey panel, and purple bias tape. The back right panel for a pair of palazzo pants, made from one orange/green panel, one grey panel, one blue/grey panel, and purple bias tape. 
The back left panel for a pair of palazzo pants, made from one orange/green panel, one grey panel, one blue/grey panel, and purple bias tape.

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.
