Coat has bias tape sewn on one side, and it's clipped for me to hand sew on tomorrow. She's starting to look like a thing! My hands are still achy so I couldn't do it today. #sewistsofinstagram #dragoncon2026 #agathaallalong #agathaharkness #GhostAgatha Most pieces are just pinned for tomorrow, but holy cow did I do a lot of work today/tonight on that jacket of doom! I'll hopefully finish this part this week, then onto finishing the bodice and skirts! My thumbs are numb from hand sewing a ton today. 😭 #dragoncon2026 #agathaallalong #agathaharkness #cosplayproblems #sewistsofinstagram So much progress on Ghost Agatha! I finally cut that damned expensive SA fabric! #sewistsofinstagram #dragoncon2026 #agathaharkness #agathaallalong #agathaharknesscosplay
