Here's the final post for the Loki Dress itself. Where we last left off I had just cut into the fashion fabric and pinned it together. I had also created the green skirt. And you, of course, remember the Petticoat of Despair.
Well, I sat at my trusty Singer sewing machine (I inherited from my grandfather, I still need to name it...hmm...) and began to sew. I used a needle made for leather and heavier fabrics since the coat material is a leather-ish fabric.

| Once sewn together I added the green skirt material to the inside of the collar. To the right, Kami Jacobs is saving my ass by sewing in the zipper. It runs full length of the front of the coat and was totally defeating me. She's a professional and the zipper looks great! I also added green fabric flair at the shoulder and as a waist band. |

My friend - the Serger - sealed the fraying edges of the skirt before hemming. |

Put it all together and...
