Happy Wednesday! YAY!! I’m so excited for you! I hope you have the most amazing time! Also, as someone who spent roughly 14 years with a marine biology special interest, I absolutely did not notice that you didn’t include the names of fish so you are so good haha. I’ve really been enjoying the aquarium scenes in baby Jean! I spent years watching documentaries about aquariums/aquarium construction/marine biology and begging for trips the the aquarium any time we were close to one. The little aquatic theme to baby Jean so far has been so fun for me!
When you have some time, could I please get some baby Jean? I hope you and your dogs are staying warm!! 🤍🤍🤍
prev | Baby Jean | WW 18.1.2024
Jean fought the urge to cry as he looked around himself for any hint of his family. Instead, he was surrounded by strangers. He leaned back against the glass of the exhibit and sat down, cradling his chin in his hands.
MASTERPOST

The pleated panel on Jack's jacket is done!
I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and when I saw this beam of sunlight hitting it where it was hanging in the closet, I couldn't help but take a couple of photos lol.
The panels run from the edge of the stand up collar to the edge of the cuffs on both sleeves. Jack pretty much always wears the jacket with the cuffs turned back, but I finished the edges so that it looks good if he's wearing it unfolded, too.
I think the effect is wonderfully Star Wars-y without being too weird looking. Jack can wear the jacket with regular outfits and the pleating will be just a cool detail. He's excited about wearing it, both to Batuu and just in general, and really what better measure of successful sewing is there than that?
The pleated fabric continues to photograph a bit more brown than it looks in real life, though I did manage to get a photo in natural sunlight where the color is pretty accurate:
We've started talking about what other little details or greeblies we might want to add to the jacket before we go to Batuu on Tuesday. Top contender at the moment is adding a little pocket above one of the top flap pockets, designed to hold a couple little code cylinders (just left over bits from when I made my Oswin Oswald belt).
One of the first modifications we made to this jacket was to cut out the hood that used to live stuffed inside the zipper on the back of the collar -- mostly to reduce the puffy bulk in the collar, but it also means that I have some extra fabric that matches the jacket exactly. I also have more of the fabric from the pleated panel if we decide to add a little contrast element.
But first! I need to get all the hooks and eyes sewn onto my vest. Yesterday I marked out the placement for the eye side of the five that surround the zipper (and thus are actually functional), and sewed on the hook half of the one that will secure the underlap and make zipping up the zipper easier. Once I've got these marked out eyes sewn on, I'll need to put the vest on again to check where the corresponding hooks should go on the underside of the overlap.
Attaching the hook on the underlap went pretty quickly and feels nice and secure, so I'm hoping I can get through at least most of the hooks and eyes today. Putting on the hooks and eyes is the very last step for the vest, as I don't plan to add any additional details or greeblies. Nearly there!
I'm continuing to noodle on ways to cover the laces of my Doc Martens and the buckle of my belt. I have a couple of ideas, some of which would involve putting pieces together with E6000 glue -- which is part of the reason I've been putting off gluing my kyber crystal necklace, so I can just glue everything in one go. I would really love to focus on all those bits this weekend, which means I should get back to sewing those hooks and eyes into place.

i saw somebody saying that the scam in nippy seems like small potatoes but i think they ended up stealing a lot more than i initially thought because the one price tag they show is an $1800 jacket, of which jeff presumably stole three

Thinking of this because of the whole OGL kerfuffle and also because I was exalting the virtues of my Lounge Set (used as pajamas) to a friend earlier:
If you want to keep supporting Critical Role in a way that is less (least?) Likely to get money in WotC's pockets, I highly recommend their apparel based on the virtues of that set alone
I was a little hesitant to get it for a while because 60 bucks is not a price I ever thought I'd pay for a pajama (+shipping) but omg it is so cozy!!! The fabric is clearly good quality, very light but warm as heck, the printing is neat and holds well... You guys I love it so much I'm even doing what it says and not tumble drying it because I love it so much I want to preserve it!
So yeah, on top of getting their campaign setting books, which was always in the plan, I know I'm going to get some of their other apparel in the future *_*
