Practice Waffenrok- sleeve 1

[alysten]

I love the way the faux puff and slash look. I hate how long it take to do. I have the stripe part of the construction down now. Once the stripes are cut, sewing them together takes no time at all. The time comes in creating the puffs. It is taking about 3-4 hours per sleeve. Normally, I can do a shirt in that time. The colors cause a little bit of eye strain, so I am bouncing between projects, and not really completing any one thing. I have about 4 projects in various states of completeness.

I am hoping I can plow through a lot of work this weekend. I have the house to myself tonight, most of tomorrow,and people coming to do project Sunday.

Anywhoo... pics of the sleeve (singular, 1 sleeve) in question, in progress. I like the addition of the purple binding to the puffs. It breaks up the orange and actually makes it tolerable.

Did I miss a post on how you do the faux slashing? Or would you be willing to expound at some point?

[alysten.livejournal.com]

You might have missed that one. But you can find all the details here.

Thanks! I need another project like I need a whole in the head, but I can daydream. ;-)

BTW - Can I get a very rough approx. of your size for your Craft meme gift. ;-) S-M-L-XL will be close enough.

On the medium side of large. It depends, but to be safe, large can be taken down. :) Are you heading to Pennsic this year?

[femkederoas.livejournal.com]

No Pennsic. :-( Special Needs children are not conducive to camping. And I don't have anybody who could handle her for more than a few days.

Plus, currently I don't get bennies, to include vacation time. So I have to add cost of pay lost to cost of vacation.

With luck, the hubs will become employed soon, and I can TAKE a vacation.
