done, the end, finis!

Progress: Vitus and Ele

The cuffs are actually separate pieces.  I've pinned them on to show how they are to be worn.

progress: Vitus

Ele's dress

Here's what I have so far.  Still needs to be hemmed, trimmed and pearled, and the appliques need to be sewn on

the opposite of progress

after finishing all the seams on the inside of Vitus's Dalmatic, I realized that the armholes are a few centimeters too small.  Looks like I'll have to take the sleeves off and put new ones on. 

On the bright side, Ele's Dalmatic is pinned together and partially sewn, and the armholes are indeed the correct size.

more progress

Ele's dress started, Vitus's needs finishing, hemming and trimming still.
Still to do: Collars, cuffs (vitus), embroidered imperial hanky (seriously, there is one) (vitus), Ele's dress, finishing on Vitus's dalmatic, temple ring bands, cut out band for undertunics (vitus and ele).

vitus's armband, done for now. If there's time I'll add more.

here's where I am so far.

armbands: Vitus

These will get filled in with more embroidery as time allows.  Right now the Zollamt still has the fabric, so I'm starting on Ele's armbands now.

Progress: Knee patches finished

These will be cut out and appliqued over the knee sections: Vitus has the red gem, Ele has the pearl.  I'll add more embroidery to them later if everything else is done on time.
