Quick update on the effigy bodies.
While the straight parts was being done by machine, I found that the reeds don't flex enough, and I am having space in machine issues, to try and sew the binding by machine, so I am slowly doing so by hand. It is taking awhile. And I am having to snip out the machined section to redo it all by hand, as the hand done areas look a lot better, especially around the curves. But man, this is ssssslllllllloooooooowww.
