So my pattern finally arrived last evening around 5:30. UPS can bite me.

I cut out the pattern pieces, then went over to Lindsay’s new apartment with Teri to help her clean it up a bit more before she moved in.

Got home around 9:30.

I serged all the edges of the pieces, and managed to get the whole front half of the dress put together before I went to bed. I may re-do one of the seams, but I’ll see how the back turns out first.
Tonight I have more time, so I should be able to finish the back, install the zipper, put the two sides together and add the insignia and rank braid.
Then I shall do a little happy dance!

If I still have any time after that before sleep, I’ll try to make the antennae and switch the costume from Human to Andorian. At this point, I’m thinking dollar store deely boppers + hot glue + acrylic paint.
