when did he start wearing all these flowers?

progress on this includes:

attached the back and the yoke; did the yoke with wonky little panels for reinforcement(?), as it's not double-layered, and for a fun symmetrical piecing moment

attached fronts to back at shoulders (not pictured)

constructed a collar and collar stand and arranged Leafs upon it

started hand stitching down leafs. it would be more elegant to do this before assembling the collar, but i can't visualize how both the seam allowances and the crease in the collar work + the tulle is itchy if misplaced

Shirt's done except for finishing the collar handstitching & touching up some of the buttonholes (used a friend's fancy machine with varying success). Lots of things wrong with it that are hard to see from more than three feet away

No pictures of it on me because I have yet to obtain a suitable layering piece which is a really funny problem to have!

roughly cut out and place embroidery. baste with glue stick (glue sticks to the back of the embroidery and not the tulle)

tack it down with a color matched running stitch (or whatever) along the stems and centers

cut off more tulle from the edges with tinier scissors

tack down the edges. with, in this case, a different thread color, do a faux chain stitch where you grab the very end of a stitch from the extant embroidery

like so

this has the benefit of kind of squashing down any tulle that didn't get trimmed

Hi folks, I’m trying to be more interactive, so if you suddenly were like “who is this”, then hi, it’s me. I’m not a writer or visual artist but I’m trying to do a better job of letting you all know how awesome your creations are and how much I appreciate them!

Still trying to figure out Tumblr — I don’t get on here every day and I think I keep missing stuff with this whole reverse chronology thing. Or I see everything 3 days later. But I’m trying to just go ahead and reblog and not overthink. And trying to comment more on AO3 too.

anyway enough about me. I was at a fancy (expensive!) men’s shop with my son to get him a suit, and saw all these shirts that seemed like Baz’s style. There were some great florals! And I thought he’d like this purple one with florals and stripes! Is it just me that thinks of Baz in purple?
