I was really hoping I would finish the embroidery on my sleeves today/night. But at 4:30 a.m. I must admit defeat on not even finishing one. I have a feeling the rest will be faster as there was a lot of trial and error, and experimentation with different stitches.

I also have a feeling this one will be the ugliest as I master the stem stitch, which creates the variation on the petals. If I ever do it again I will know to start at the hem and do the sleeves last when I'm a pro. Oh well... I think it's going to be so pretty and even with my amateur sleeves it's better then a plain all white dress.
I doubt I finish tomorrow as I have to run to town on a bunch of errands but by Wednesday I plan to have the entire bodice put together.

I'm sure you can see all the places you don't like, but I think it looks beautiful!

Thank you!
It's grown on me some. At first all I could see is what I could have done better.

It looks lovely! you'll just have to remember which is your 'good' side for pictures and always pose with that arm to the camera ;)

[llyrafantasyfae.livejournal.com]

I will! Its a shame you can't focus on the hem. I have a feeling the best one will be on it because I am doing the embroidery backwards. Oh well. :)

That's so beautiful! I love the design and the colours.

Thanks! Would you believe I have had the threads for close to 5 years. :)

That is super pretty! I love the colors.

Thank you! I got the threads at CoCo the first year it was at the new hotel. They've been begging to be used.

Wow, that looks lovely! You're so good with embroidery! I don't have that kind of patience.

[llyrafantasyfae.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I am still envious of your machine. I have LOTS ANd LOTS of cosplays that have massive amounts of embroidery to them. Doing it by hand is soothing to me and something I love and have lots of patience for. Unlike mock ups and what not.

I think that embroidery looks GREAT! Can't wait to see it in person at CoCo! (I may have to touch and oogle it)

[llyrafantasyfae.livejournal.com]

THank you! And touching and oogling is allowed. :)
