#the c shaped thing is the yoke that i self drafted and didn't make a mockup for

[trishmishtree]

Remember when I said I will have zero spare time next month and probably shouldn't be participating in #Capetember 2022 but I was probably going to do it anyway?

Well this is the current state of my living room...

Yep, I'm going to try to self-draft and hand sew an entire cape, with zero prior cape making experience. While I will be working 80 hours a week running the inpatient hospital service, starting next week and for the next 5 weeks 🤦‍♀️

#tricia sews (kind of) #sewing #hand sewing #who put me in charge of me? #why did i let myself talk myself into this? #(yes i draft my patterns on old junk mail don't judge me) #the quarter circle you see there is my old circle skirt pattern that i drafted on gift wrap #the c shaped thing is the yoke that i self drafted and didn't make a mockup for #i hate doing mockups because i have to hand sew everything #and i based the yoke off the two edwardian blouses that i drafted recently #so i know it will fit fine #i got the black wool at a great discount #and the blue floral fabric is some cotton sateen that I'd used to make a birthday present for a friend #i still have a bunch of it leftover and i think it'll be enough for the lining #i think I'm going to put fusible interfacing into the yoke because I don't know which grain to cut it on #not in love with the fact that none of the edges of it will match with the straight grain
