Blue scale shirt, medium with white, gold, and copper accent.

This looks amazing! how long did this take?

I made a test shirt in a smaller size to get a feel for the technique, and to get my crafting hands back into shape.  Once I started this piece, maybe 2-3 months of 2 hours or so a day.  I did the body in four panels to keep the size manageable, and the front and back yoke separately.  It took about 4 hours to stitch everything together on my padded kitchen table, and that last seam was a killer.
