A sewing mannequin holds a capelet made of pink & orange satin with a large pink leopard print faux fur collar. A large black & white striped bow 'tie' sits at the neck, above which a spiky skull face sticks out of the neck of the mannequin. This is the face of Shelly Skelly, the anthropomorphic, undead model herself!

Tonight, Shelly Skelly is rocking this one-of-a-kind Dunkin Donuts capelet, designed & stitched by the eponymous Hexxxy Lady herself, our very own: Crueller de Filling!

Watch out for the swish as Shelly Skelly makes her way up the red carpet! 😉

A black cat sitting primly atop an in-progress pile of an orange satin sewing project. The pile is right next to the sewing machine, clearly in use, except that right now there's a very self-satisfied cat on it.

A burnt loaf of a goobus cat laying atop a large, folded piece of bright orange material, which is clearly mid-pattern-cutting. The mischief loaf has been caught mid-meow, so his face is partly scrunched and his mouth open just a tiny bit, giving him a ridiculously silly expression.

A short-haired black cat sits within a large pile of pink leopard-print fabric. The is draped over his back half where it was tossed over him, and he is looking over his shoulder in consternation at this sudden development. His pose indicates that the thought running through his head might be akin to: "WTF, Möther?!", or maybe, "My Ass!". 🤣

Close-up photo of the primly sitting feet of a black cat, posed on top of a mid-cut sewing pattern. The goobus LITERALLY sat down ON MY PATTERN, AS I WAS CUTTING IT. I had to remove my scissors mid-cut as he forced his way into my space and put his ass on my pattern piece. To be fair, it was time for dinner. He is an excellent and reliable clock. 😂

A montage of the 'help' I've received the last few days. 😂

He's such a good boy!

A photo of a black table filled with (mostly) neatly laid out sewing project supplies. On the left are various pattern pieces folded into neat rectangles. The fabric is orange, pink, or pink leopard print & each rectangular pile is labeled as to which piece is which for easy reference. On the right of the table is a mini ironing board, iron, & pressing ham. Some scissors & bonus pattern pieces rest on the ironing board in the middle. The upper right corner of the table is filled with all the various small accoutrements required for such a project: pink & orange thread, gold lamé bias tape, pencils, rulers, etc.

Ok, I'm missing 1 facing piece, 2 pieces for the external long cape (I'm waiting on the fabric), and the bits for the jester's cap, which I'll cut out tomorrow.

Everything else is ready to go and now it is time to ASSEMBLE. 💀
