Deadlines approacheth... *breathe*

[mellymel_cos]

Another week gone by and I'm still looking at the bolero. I'm hoping today's third attempt at adjusting the sleeve pattern will finally get it to fit properly into the armscye without weird wrinkling and far too much wrestling while pinning/sewing. I know set-in sleeves are the hardest part of any garment for me still, but I can usually get it on

Looking cool! Certainly hope it continues going so well :) Despite the anxiousness :)

Thanks! Since posting, I've got the second half molded. I'm going to let it sit for a while and then I'm going to start gluing. Still kind of holding my breath until it's all one piece.

Then just pauldrons, greaves, gauntlets, utility belt pieces... ;)

I've never worked with that stuff, and can imagine the first foray into it being just... scary. Especially with the deadlines. But it looks good!

I kinda know how you feel about the deadlines, and all the niggly little things that must be done, etc. Three weeks from yesterday is my drive out date. *yikes*

But we can DO IT!
Yes.

I started with the hardest piece, certainly! But, as mentioned above, I was able to shape out the second half yesterday and it's looking acceptable. Still lots to do though and lots of unknowns that are causing me anxiety. However, I made good progress on all the other parts and pieces yesterday and am feeling more confident about it overall now (post forthcoming).

Three weeks from tomorrow is my leave date. *gulp* And like you, I've got all these real world things pressing in as well. Jonah starts school in 6 days and he starts soccer practice tomorrow, first game the 21st... it just all comes at once!

But...

Yes, we can do it!! :)
