Catch up post

 I took the pictures, but forgot to actually post them last week. So here's where I was a week ago:

That is half of the top, because my table is not long enough to stretch out the whole thing and take a picture. But all the side seams are done, and I'm waiting for a later step to get the shoulders together. I did cut everything as though the fabric had a nap, but didn't try to pattern match. But I think it worked out really well! The diagonal flow of the flowers matches, and they change enough that the transition between seams didn't stand out too badly. Serendipity!

Did I mention this design has a little cape thing? Because it has a cape thing! Got the shoulder seams done last week; felled down the raw edges on those seams this week. Now this thing gets a couple types of trim, which has been mostly what I worked on this week:

Dusty keyboard kept in the pic for scale. This is half of a tatted trim that will go along the shoulders. I'm kind of going for an epaulette-type look? The blue thread is a pretty close match to the blue fleece, so it should be mostly the texture and the beads. So basically I have to do this band a total of 4 times. By hand. For a bathrobe.
