Absolutely Invincible British Trousers
Sep. 13th, 2010 12:47 amOh, thank goodness, something went right.
They were a really difficult pair of pants to do -- the instructions were flat-out wrong in a couple of spots -- but I figured it out and punched it through and, between yesterday and today -- er, Saturday and Sunday -- I've (mostly) finished England's trousers.
YAAAAAAAY!
They fit like a glove; it makes me wanna cry tears of joy. They're mostly finished because I need to add the button; do the hem; touch up the zipper, because my stitches strayed a little when I attached it -- I hate sewing upside-down; and take in the waist because the fabric is stretchy, soit goes over my hips! T^T all the extra at the waist doesn't need to be there. It'll take some time, and I'll probably have to redo more than just a couple of seams, but at this point, I don't care.
Squeeeeee~ I'm so excited! I just wish I understood what the hell to do with the collar, because then I'd be set! ... Also mostly. I still have the dress shirt and belts to do, then I have to buy a tie and boots. (Oh my gosh, the brass trim I got is so sexy because the color complements my shade of green so well! I can't wait to play the buttons and belts!) So... ^_^;; Maybe about 25-30% completed. But the pants make me feel really good about myself and my skill so maybe I won't quit cosplaying just yet. :D And maybe, maybe, this'll be done for NYAF and Hetalia Day. Fingers crossed, and pictures tomorrow.
