I am bad at sewing so I have to learn how to use a sewing machine from scratch. Luckily my friend Li Xuan teach me the basics for using the sewing machine and how to prevent mistakes. She also helped me a lot with the fitting and getting correct cuts.
The basic dress form for the hood is like this:
Sewing is not easy to beginners. It took me a while to get used to. Using the sewing machine is like a very zen metaphor:
“One cannot force the cloth into the sewing machine, one could only guide it and let the sewing machine lead you.”
After a long day, I have finally finished with making the hood. Even thou I was advised to make a dress together with it, I decide to put that plan on hold until I can finish the wings first. (Thanks Li Xuan for testing it out)
