Byuri's little Cheyenne regalia is finished. I had a lot of challenges with it - I had to make her moccasins twice - the first pair was too small. The skirt of the dress ended up too short, so I had to add a blue cotton waistband to make it the right length. I had to figure out a way to make the jacket back close, because after sewing the underarm seams, the back wouldn't overlap anymore. I had to finish my beading last night with super-dilated pupils after going to the optometrist and barely being able to see what I was doing. I did manage, which tells me I'll still probably try do detailed work even when my eyesight gets really bad, but for now I'm glad it wasn't permanent yet.
I'm not sure about what wig she'll wear. Right now she has a short, dark brown, Monique wig instead of the handmade, dark brown one she wore with her "Little Beaver" regalia. I thought it might be nice if she had a different hairdo with this outfit, but I'll have to try the other one on to see how it looks to make sure.
I'm almost done Isar's quiver - it just needs some paint to cover the light edges on the leather. Then she needs arrows and a bow....and then it's Nami's turn, with less than a week to go.
