Big-ass sleeves

Posted on May 30, 2010 by Trystan
Loose Gown Pattern

No pix, but I made ginormous sleeves for the loose gown. Not sure how I feel about that. On one hand, I like obnoxious fashion details. On the other hand, these are pretty freakin’ obnoxious, and it’s a good thing I didn’t pad them like I was tempted to do.

I almost feel up to going to BayCon tomorrow, ‘cept I know that the day full of panels would exhaust me and run through my throat. Need to save it up for Thursday in Reno.

So it’s another thrilling weekend at home, hitting refresh. I should be able to finish the loose gown tomorrow tho…
