Taking a few days out, treating myself to not one, but two shows by Norwegian formation Trail of Tears, the accomplished Black/Gothic Metal act that manages to prove itself more amazing each time I see them.

In realizing I would not be able to get both bracers duly finished in time, I decided to shift all focus onto completing at least one of them, upholding quality standards while granting myself some sleep before a heavy few days of melodious appreciation ahead.
I ultimately wound up stringing a cordonnet-thread as a temporal solution for lacing up the bracer onto the point where I could easily get my hand through and swiftly sew the bracer fastened around my arm whilst on the road to wearing a new piece in pride.

The illustrious queen-sized Picnic Blanket that accommodates two to three on a beautifully bordered soft molton, spread out over a waterproof underground, and protected from rain by internal lining, with three variant color-panels, interchangeable for setting the surroundings to extend the determined outfits’ mood.

As a didactic example it was recently shown to me how horse-hair interfacing is properly fixated onto the under-collar, using a fascinating, yet strenuous, pattern of minuscule stitches attaching the inter-facing whilst forming the collar around your hand as you move, allowing you to pull both bias-cut layers simultaneously into a round fold, bestowing the rigid collar with an elegant roll-over.

Steam-pressing staggered pleats
Two bracers' pieces, freshly cut
Fixed up and brought into folds
Sewn together in outer seam
Illustrating the total process on manipulating one inherently difficult seam, procured by sewing contravening velvet pleats together, followed by refining inner seam allowances through cutting overlap and allowing naps to neatly bring the whole formation into shape, producing fancily free cuspy folds.
