Time to get organized with my SQQ sewing project.
Yes, I indeed am alive and I kicked this sewing project waaay down the line. I moved, then it took 2 months for my stuff to arrive, in between that I broke my wrist and I had tons of physical therapy which went on well into November of 2022.
But now, I have a con approaching and it is time to get my Shen Qingqiu sewing project started. Before I could even do much of anything, I needed to pull out my fabric which I finally organized into one tupperware bin and iron everything - again.
I hate ironing 4 yards of silk fabric - not fun at all. I have 3 yards of cream bamboo fiber for the zhong yi underlayer which needs a new sleeve pattern drafted for it. I will likely start with the main piece since I already drafted that for my WKX one, using the red layer for sizing. I might reduce the sleeves a bit so the top layer can use the wide pattern I already have.
Right now this is all I’ve gotten done. I pulled out the teal silk which got a good sniff inspection and ironed all of it on both sides. I tried to refold it not along any of the creases that still remained after the ironing.
My assistant always has to check things out.
I also got all of the cream bamboo jersey done as well.
This one also looks like I won’t need to overlock the raw edge of the fabric as it rolls up on itself making it hard to tell the selvedge edge from the cut end. Nice! May you be a friendly fabric to work with.
My next update will likely be cutting out the silk and getting the main piece sewn together with any notes, tips, or tricks.
Sorry, I don’t have any more information, but I’ll start to get going on this. I need to balance it with another cosplay which has no sewing involved as all the clothing is normal, but that I need to make some rather large props which will be interesting. Never thought it would be difficult to replicate a mini-church with a cardboard box, but here I am.
