A few days ago I tried on Ichito's "jacket"-whatever-it-is and noticed that it needs a slight make-over. I needed to cut those front panels into a more triangular shape because I noticed just hiking them up didn't do it. I also needed to take in the back of the garment because it was too big.

| Notice triangular pointy front panels |
So what do I do? Cut it.
 |
| Before any modifications. Poor thing thought it was con-ready.. |
 |
| Marked cutting line |

| Test photo after cutting and hemming |
 |
| Took in the back seam and ironed it.. |
 |
| Folded in front panel sides too and sewed around them |

Back side (näytän niin mursulta! :'D) |
I think it'll have to do, I can't take in so much more from the back part closest to the collar.. so it's bigger up and narrows slowly the farther down it gets.
I also helped mom moving her former fabric store's leftover fabrics (those that had been stored in big black bags in the old storage house) to our attic and I found some fabrics I can use for Ichito's obi and shoe covers. Yay, free fabric once again. <3

| That rib knit fabric just doesn't want to photograph its real color... it's closer to an army green... |

When mom is done outside she'll help me cut out the fabric for Okita's yukata so I can start sewing it. There will very likely be another blog post about it later today. Until then, see ya!
