Limhwa Limho Mono BJD MSD Commission Project

I saw a WTC thread on DoA and jumped on it pretty much immediately. While I do not have this doll myself, I have sewn for him before, so I was really excited to see this. It also happened to be one of my favorite styles. A medieval/fantasy outfit. I guess it is off a character - Game of Thrones maybe? I looked, but I can't remember. (I'm one of the apparently few people who doesn't watch the show.)

I've gotten most of the pattern drafting done. The pants are done. I just perfected the tunic, and all that leaves me if to iron out the couple of nagging details on the robe, and I can get it finished up for her.

I am sewing her tunic today. I got some very fine high quality cream linen, as per her request. It's beautiful, and I know exactly why I bought it. It was just perfect in weave and color for the tunic. It's also one of those fabrics that when it comes time to working with it you'r like "what was I thinking?" Lol. It's okay though. It'll be worth the extra pain in sewing with it. I am fray checking most of the pieces as linen is suspect for very bad fraying normally, and this lovely fabric is pretty mean.

Here's the design:

(Pardon the bent paper. The sketches and the measurements are on the same page and have been through a lot.)



And here is a picture of the fabric:



I can't wait to see how it turns out. I love the test run, but that's out of cheap white muslin! I wil hopefully have it finished up today.
