| sewing the elastic lace to the collar |
A while ago I bought this black elastic lace to add as a trim to a half turtle neck ribbed sweater. Early this year, on a shopping trip to Primark, I finally found the half turtle neck black ribbed sweater. Cheap.
Today, in order to get back into cosplay crafting, I sewed the lace to the collar and cuffs, with a herringbone stitch. Why a herringbone stitch? because it's very elastic, and I wanted the lace to look like it's part of the sweater.

+ an easy way to make a simple store bought sweater look fancy, while making it look closer to the artwork.
- it still took me around two hours to hand sew all of this.
THE CUNNING PLAN
Find the skirts in the new flat, and maybe wear it for Anisama, this month. The weather is still chilly and I'm not in the mood for fancy costumes.
