I was trying to accomplish things but PK disagreed.

Results of the dye and armor test. The fabric covering the armor will work beautifully, but I'll need a better way to attach it and yellow base foam. (I picked up orange today and it's showing through and altering the color a bit too much.) I'm leaning towards the left dye swatch -- 3 parts Scarlet to 1 part Wine.

Some close ups of the deconstructed shorts, for reconstruction purposes.

This zipper is refusing to align and I want to fight it. I've done so many of these zippers they should be cake by now.

After an hour or so of swearing at Lucille, the sleeves are lined and have their piping. I tried really hard to get a picture of the lining that didn't look like the gaping maw of the Planet Killer, but as you can see, I failed.

I fluctuate between loving and hating lining fabric, and it depends entirely on whether or not I'm currently pinning it. But it should make the sleeves a bit cooler and more comfy!

At some point I joked that I ought to move Lucille to the floor for quilting so I wouldn’t have to worry about the fabric bunching up or falling off the edge of my little desk. I shouldn’t have been joking. This is way easier.
