Yay! a pirate girl!
Beautiful work!

I wonder if I show that to my girls, of they'd wanna be pirates too?

We appreciate all the wonderful comments! Thank you all so much!

Wow
I can finally post a finished project that I am totally proud of.
The pictures don't do it justice, it looks a lot better on.
I learned a ton while making this. Its the first time I've done anything this complicated and well finished.
I did it as a practice for making a justacorps for my pirate captain persona.

All the edges are finished with bias tape made of the same fabric (before this I didn't even know what bias tape was. I made the tape myself ) and the insides have the Hong Kong finish to the seams because it is unlined. (its south florida, I would like to be able to use more than a few times a year   )

I'm still debating wether to put a button on the front to hold it closed or let it stay open all the time.

That is gorgeous Auryn!

[LadyShadow]

  Beautiful.

I like how you matched the fabric up where the seams are.  It is beautiful.

Oh, splendid! Huzzah!

I vote yes on the button, because even if you do leave it open, the button will be a nice finishing touch and a bit of bling.

[Auryn]

Thank you everyone.
It really means a lot coming from such talented folk.

I don't know what kind of button to use.
Wether to use a silver/pewter button or go more with a gold/bronze color to match the embroidery.

I am hoping that the puckering at the middle seam on the back will go away with a thorough ironing.

[Lady L]

Beautiful!

[DragonWing]

That is lovely. Nice job.

[Genievea Brookstone]

That is very pretty!  I am with Gem, a button would be a great touch even if you leave it open.

I am finally back online enough to catch up on the amazing projects!  WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!  You guys are amazing.  I can not believe what I have missed.  The pictures are wonderful.  I am going to try and stay more active, and keep being impressed by the great group of sewers!!!!

Auryn, since yours was the last posted... Great job! esp. with all of the bias taping!  I want one, now.
