Costuming Night

Up a little later than I would have liked tonight, but!
Today mouse_art was in town and helped me pick out a lining for Saku's sleeves. (Namely the pale pale not-pink Sun Silky that no one /ever/ buys. Of course it matches the bizzaro not-really pink flowers. ^__^)
Which means that outer kimono now has lovely lined sleeves. The french seams with lining worked out worse than I'd hoped and better than they could have, so I'm content. Now I just need to do the hems down the front facings and around the bottom hem (by hand).
And then paint and attach the neckband (half by hand).
Then it will be done!

And then I can move on to:
-Blue layer
-Obi(s?)
-fans (painting)
-creating a way to /wear/ the beaded flowers
-making Tabi. o.o
-modifying sandals
-(note to self: make a little wrist purse or similar that matches the costume. You'll be happier)

Oh, and Kagetoki repairs. And... um... other touchups. Like making sure that Seigaku has letters that don't suck. And putting little white dots on Hyoutei. And finding Yuushi glasses that aren't Jess's.

I had Chicken Katsu Curry tonight for dinner. It was /amazing/. I miss tasty Japanese food.
