Hyperfocus a-go-go! I started marking and sewing channels as soon as I got home yesterday because the light was still good, and finished about an hour later when it was failing. I've been using random thread from my stash (I have a few odd colours that I got from a friend) so bright chartreuse on ivory was really not great to sew with improper lighting. After that it was boning (with help, naturally) and clipped all the panels together, then located the zipper foot to stitch. Lastly, it was find the lacing strips I pulled off an old corset ages ago and figure out how to stitch that in place so I could try the thing on.

Then try on! Whee!! Initial fit appears to be good. I did not get the mirror out so I can't fully assess the fit yet. I'm pretty sure I have a /\ gap, which I expected. It was decently comfortable, the first tab at the side front curved against my belly and I could sit without being poked anyway. Waved my arms around in full circles to test the motion and if there was any poking. I *think* I might want to cut the underarms down a smidgen and definitely need to get the waist situated in the right spot before making any final decisions. Overall, pretty happy with how it's turned out so far.

And THEN I realized that it was like 8pm and holy hannah I haven't had dinner yet! I didn't even make a proper meal, I scavenged some snackies from the cupboard and fridge and called it a night not long after. Whoops? (and my care team doesn't want to poke the bear with adhd testing...)
