- finale
So I planned on finishing this like 2 days ago but whoops. I went shopping yesterday and bought a ton of good stuff, though! I also ran out of white thread so that was a hindrance.
The progress I made: I put a hem on the top (I don't think that was necessary but I feel uncomfortable with raw edges ugh) and then I sewed my monofin in place. What I did for the, was put on my tail and line up where the fin would be if I were wearing it, then pencil along the sides. I also sewed a little around the corner, so I could keep my monofin in place, but be able to remove it while I worked on other things.
I decided the fluke looked stupid and floppy, so I bought some polythylene tubing (mines a little less than an inch in diameter) and sewed little pockets to put them in. The problem was, it was really curved in the circular shape, so the areas that point outwards were getting all weird and flippy, so I cut it off just about where my fin ended. Now the top is floppy, but oh well.
I close odd the ends of the pocket. Then I stuck my monofin back in, and glued down the edge just to be secure. Then, I sewed around the bottom, leaving symmetrical vents. It's kind of not symmetrical flop wise fml but it's not really a big deal in the end.
