A couple of weeks ago we got some new hardware from Comcast/xfinity – the box it all came in turned out to be Luna’s favourite thing. I put some towels down in it and she just hangs out in it sometimes. I went home for lunch yesterday and she was sleeping in it when I walked in.
All the cat houses, cat beds and toys we get her and it’s trash she likes best. I tied a string on a paper towel tube the other day and dragged it around the living room, she thought it was the best thing ever.
Anyway, last night I focused on getting the capelet finished as much as possible. I got the edges trimmed (it was a little long), all the pieces sewn together, then I made some trim out of leftover Romana fur. Sandwiched that in between the layers and sewed it all together.
Inside Out:
Then did the same for the collar pieces. First round after getting the collar attached:
Cleaned up some of the edges, fixed one spot where the collar didn’t catch onto the yoke, second round:
I still need to go in and handsew the edge of the collar down to the yoke – it got too thick right there for my sewing machine with all the fur. I also think I may handsew the trim down a bit more to be a little shorter, especially around the top of the collar. But, it’s mostly done. Yay!
Now I get to vacuum my office tonight, there’s fur everywhere.
