Between photo editing, new client schmoozing, and dealing with the crew who’ve come to fix the roof, I managed to get the #PinkDiamondShirt finished yesterday evening.

Special thanks to @sbourne for encouraging me down the path to add the single diamonds at the collar tips. #sewing #tailoring #couture #lgbt #artist #ElfkinLaunch @sewing

The #PinkDiamondShirt approaches its completion. Sleeves and collar are attached. Side seams are done up. Just need cuffs, buttons, and a hem. #sewing #tailoring #couture #lgbt #artist #ElfkinLaunch
Fronts are all done and laps are in on the sleeves. It’s time to attach the yoke and make the #PinkDiamondShirt happen. #sewing #tailoring #couture #lgbt #artist #ElfkinLaunch

The plackets are on, pockets half done, and collar all prepped on hubby’s birthday shirt. Time to stash this away and head to the airport to pick him up!

With a bit of caffeine and cannabis in me, decisions about this pocket for the #PinkDiamondShirt have been made. A snap will be attached under the single diamond on the flap. I think I love it. #sewing #ElfkinLaunch
Trying to decide if I want to add this diamond embroidery detail to the pocket flaps for the #PinkDiamondShirt or keep it limited to the pockets. #sewing #ElfkinLaunch

While he’s out of town, I’m #sewing up hubby’s birthday gift of a pink poplin print cowboy shirt, to be referred to as #PinkDiamondShirt from here on so that he can filter these posts.

Pieces are all cut and staystitched. Trying to decide if I have it in me to do the collars and pockets before my sewing machines turn into pumpkins for the night. #tailoring #lgbt #artist #ElfkinLaunch
