Happy Halloween! The Larvae were Animal Crossing c

Happy Halloween! The Larvae were Animal Crossing characters this year. Thankfully most of it was purchased, because I decided to make my life ridiculous by cutting and piecing Rosie’s top which took forever. And then I disassembled an extra pair of pants so I could use the fabric for the sleeves so they would match the pants exactly. I love how it looks but next time I’m going to consult @_cheryll before I start sewing, and she’ll tell me to paint it and my life will be much easier. 🤣

Feeling so lucky that I got to spend the weekend with my besties in Disneyland!

Living out my dunhuang feitian dreams in the sand.

Living out my dunhuang feitian dreams in the sand. 😊

I love the closeup @faesandphotos took. It is so dreamy and perfect!

I didn’t have time to digitize my own mandala design (because I got distracted watching Mysterious Lotus Casebook 😅) so I purchased a design from @annthegran_embroidery. I blew it up super big, edited it a little bit, and it worked out perfect for what I wanted! There’s embroidery on the belt too but I forgot to get a photo of the details on my costume. Note to self for next time: get a photo of the embroidery to prove that I have finally figured out how to machine embroider with metallic thread. 🤣

Had such a good time with @cationdesigns shooting our Dunhuang costumes on the sand! I totally squee-ed in happiness when I saw this photo. It looks just like the dunhuang shoots I’ve been ogling forever ! 😊

My knee informed me the next day that hauling up and down sand dunes without my knee brace was a very bad idea. 😅 Worth it tho!

Wore my Final Fantasy white mage to the @gbacg’s Luncheons and Dragons event. My adventuring party won the treasure hunt! (I’m not sure I really contributed anything to the quest but I was there for moral support. 😅)

Omg I have sleeves finally! I think that took me 3

Omg I have sleeves finally! I think that took me 3 weeks. Ok, I spent a lot of those weeks avoiding the sleeves and doing just about anything else including my taxes.😆 But they’re done!

Each sleeve has a polyboning understructure, kind of like a late Victorian bustle. Then a mountain of tulle on top, and then the sleeve. The polyboning cage is there to force the sleeve puff to go up instead of out, because the animators drew a sleeve shape that has never existed historically. Because of course. 😅

Who has two thumbs and spent all night binding 18th century pockets instead of mocking up sleeves? 🙋🏻‍♀️

(Also the binding doesn’t match but it’s what I had on hand. 😅)

In typical “AJ can’t keep track of anything”

In typical “AJ can’t keep track of anything” fashion, I never posted a photo from the lovely tea @freshfrippery organized at Pardee home. I included some additions for #historymirrormonday too.
