| EVA foam cuffs and collar on white cotton |
After finishing cutting the EVA foam for the embroidery, I glued it, with glue stick, to a piece of white cotton. The EVA foam is to give volume to the embroidery, and the fabric is to give it stability.
I separated all pieces, and started to embroider. I'm using the foam as a guide, but I'm not using an embroidery hoop, to not to kink the foam wih it. I drew the middle lines with the awl, as a guide for the indentations.

| about 1/3 of the cuff embroidered so far |
As usual, embroidery takes a while. At first I embroidered every day, but now the deadline for ComicCon's Cosplay Maker competition is over, and I ended up not entering. They were asking for the skit video already, but I only have a vague idea of what I would do, and when my friend Carol told me, it was a bit too late to think about it. So, the strategy changed a bit, I'll try to have all the fundamental pieces finished, like the blouse, dress (and corset), ears and shoes, and meanwhile I'll be embroidering. I'm leaving the petticoat and cane for later, as the outfit is wearable without them. I'm still aiming to have it finished, or partially finished before ComicCon, but I won't con crunch it.
+ it is turning out really pretty, I love the effect.- it takes a long time even to embroider these small pieces, so I'll have to be patient.
THE CUNNING PLAN
Keep making the other pieces, and embroider a bit in between.
