Yuuko Ichihara - Foxy Lady #20

the two cuffs, with the pattern paper, and half cut swirls

From now on, I need to work on this costume a little bit every day.

I had already started cutting out the swirls in the EVA foam, for the puff embroidery, but it was coming out very rugged, and taking too long. I then remembered I could somehow mark the foam, sharpen my box cutter and cut directly on the foam. So, I sharpened the box cutter blade, with a knife sharpener I swiped from my ex-stepfather ages ago and hardly ever used before, took my awl and started punching holes along the swirl lines. It worked! And the process was so much quicker that I already cut the two cuffs and punched the collar. If it all works well, tomorrow I'll start embroidering.

+ Good that I made this decision, this way I'll keep the (sort of) scheduled plan I initially had.

- I wish I thought about this earlier.

THE CUNNING PLAN 

Cut out the collar swirls, and start embroidering ASAP. Sew the "blouse".
