I never thought I would be working on another CLAMP related project for a while. Then again, I did finish up Karen Kasumi in less than two days time. This is a Christmas present commission. I wanted to see if I can do this under $70. The lining was already leftover from Project: Disturbia. So, all I had to get was the bias tape, zipper, pattern, and main fabric.Suffice to say, I was able to score all of the above for $25.
Of course, this is just phase one of the progress. There still needs to be a few more embellishments and a few parts to make it longer need to be added. On first glance, it looks more like Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist. Not the intention at all.
The bias tape was not as bad working with as I thought. Bias tape makes everything look nicer.
And in other news, Eva Friedel is 100% complete.

If it's one thing I haven't mastered in sewing, it's collars. This is a commission for the Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl groupage. My friend wanted to be Ash, so I said I'd make her one. The base was no problem. Easy lining and easy cotton. The hardest part was modifying the McCall's pattern to look like Ash.
The yellow part was used from my leftover Nadia fabric. One fold. Press. Inside Out. Press.Trying to get it even, matching end points, and getting it to fall on the armhole were huge challenges. Don't get me started on the collar. I had to insert wire to get it to stand up like it does in the photo. As mentioned before, I don't have much experience drafting patterns for collars, but close enough should be fine.
Now to have a Pikachu sit on Ash's shoulder...
