Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! Thats alot of measuring! lol
There's a buttload of work going into this... now thats some dedication!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There is a saying in sewing, "Measure twice, cut once." which says two things to me, (1) once you've cut your material there's no going back! and (2) planning heavily in this stage will help you avoid un-fixable problems later in the future.

Well thats a good saying to have. =3 I dont really sew too much... I would like to... but fabric and supplies are expensive and cost money that I just dont have.

This is awesome!!! I'm not sure when I'll actually be able to use this, but I'll defiantly try it sometime. Congrats on the dd.

When you told me how many yards you used, did you mean per wing or for both?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Huh, good question. Hmmm...I think I meant per wing, so you'll need twice that amount. Nothing bad about getting too much fabric I suppose...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I believe the amount you gave me was about ten yards per wing, are you sure?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No - I'd suggest buying 10 yards to start, then buy more if you need to~

Thank god, I was scared for a second there. Aaaah thank you for all your help. XD;

Also, about the polypropylene webbing, where did you find it? Based purely on a Google search I can only seem to find it online, & I'd really rather be able to find it at a hardware store or something. Is there an alternative in case I can't find any? I found polypropylene rope but I doubt that'd work the same...

I found it on spools at JoAnns, near the ribbons, but any fabric store should carry it.

Lol, if I didn't want you to it wouldn't be available for download~

Wow How cool! How much do you think it costs to make this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The most money I've found goes into the fabric (which I use yards & yards of...) so it depends on the quality of fabric...
So, lemme get back to you on that~

Okay. ^_^ Thanks. This is so cool. I can't wait for you to finish! What an undertaking this must have been!!!
