I was able to finish tracing and cutting all the final pieces and watched a couple more online videos of people making a more traditional qipao. I also went to Walmart to purchase a nude zipper, more bias tape, and more nude thread to be used when sewing. Because the fabric already has designs of flowers and birds, I decided to also challenge myself to emborder on top of them. When I was at Walmart, I found some embroidery items that I can practice with.
I am a little behind my original schedule but I plan to finish sewing and adding the bias tape/buttons/zipper by this Friday. I would like to use this weekend to add the embroidery designs after seeing how the qipao looks and fits.
Below is an image of the cut pieces and all the supplies I purchased online and from Walmart.
