Well, this is going to make the next 6 weeks interesting. Nothing is broken just strained the tendons in my wrist. Need to wear the brace as close to 24/7 as I can manage. I can still hold a needle and sew so which was a big worry. #stitcherslife #artistproblems https://www.instagram.com/p/CqT8dzQr5qe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

They say 3rd time is a charm so let's hope that is true. Fabric to finish the outer sleeves came in and as I went to cut and work on them I discovered that the interfacing on the body of the garment had started to bubble and pull away (see last photo) I could not leave it like that and because I had ordered extra extra fabric this time I was able to re-cut the body with a better interlining fabric. So 3rd version of the tunic is together as are the lining and main sleeves, last part of the sleeves is in progress as is the cape. So please pray to the Cosplay gods for me that it's smooth sailing from here on out. Deadline to be done is Next Sunday #cosplayproblems #setbacks #commisionerlife #sewing #skyleafcreations #cosplay #wip #bespoke #commission #disney #PrinceEdwardcosplay #fwd #madewithfwd #janome #janome4300qdc #janomesewingmachine #janomemakes #janomecanada https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_GYjcpE1R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For those that like photos over reels 😉 Sorry for the radio silence. Well, let's just sum up the last couple of weeks under “technical difficulties“ But Adam from Sk8t the Infinity is done. And Prince Edward has progress. #sewing #skyleafcreations #cosplay #wip #bespoke #commission #disney #PrinceEdwardcosplay #sk8tinfinity #fwd #madewithfwd #janome #janome4300qdc #janomesewingmachine #janomemakes #janomecanada https://www.instagram.com/p/Clze0ubLDYt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So much hand-sewing this past week. But with a tone of the work by everyone in the wardrobe department things are ready for tomorrow’s Tech. #wip #theatre #dayjob #sewing #ShareYourShaw #shawfestival #wardrobe #behindthescenes #canadiantheatre #notl #niagaraonthelake #skyleafcreations #60thseason White Christmas Designed by Judith Bowden On Stage @shawfest November 18th - December 23rd (at Shaw Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck4Wv41Ln9C/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

More progress on Adam from Sk8te the Infinity. I was hoping to finish this to ship out tomorrow but after a 50 hr workweek my body and brain 🧠 say no to going to happen. But it’s close. Sleeves, Cape, pads/armour to go. But I should get that done next weekend 🤞🤞🤞🤞 disappointed in myself for not getting more done, but I am still coming to accept the fact I can no longer put in 20 + hrs at home on sewing after doing 40+ hrs at work. I thank you for sticking with me as I catch up on my backlog and find my new day to day rhythm. #sewing #skyleafcreations #cosplay #wip #bespoke #commission #sk8tinfinity #fwd #madewithfwd #janome #janome4300qdc #janomesewingmachine #janomemakes #janomecanada https://www.instagram.com/p/CkotJu3pT9e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
