Because of my vacation early this month, my prep for Egils was severely delayed. As a result, the normal Egils rush is more rushed than usual. In the last three days, between my normal commitments I've managed to make three new tunics, although two of the three still need the hand finishing. Tonight I need to make a pair of pants but I also have one more tunic I really would like to get done.
I'm pleased with the way they look off my body but not so much on my body. I don't know that there is anything wrong with the tunics but I'm not terribly happy with my body. I think I'm having some fitting issues with the shoulders and bust line- the tunic shoulders are too wide but bust isn't quite wide enough. I also have had to use every single scrap of the fabric to get enough for each tunic. It's leading to some creative design with color, which I've really liked, but it's time consuming and sometimes difficult. Hopefully, I can get some input after or during Egils about the fit.
The end result, however, is long days and short nights and I'm TIRED.
