I love your idea of making an arm muscles model! You absolutely should.
Re updates, I’ve mainly been mending and embroidering.
Mending: patching yet more bedding (as previous); and also since I started making myself linen tops, I’ve discovered that they mainly like to go in holes under the arms (by the time my t-shirts do this they’ve usually failed in several other ways too so aren’t worth mending), so I patched one of those as well. I’ve found the best way to do this is to undo enough of the seams that I can sew the patch in flat, then re-do the seams afterwards. (This also applies to patching the inner thighs of trousers.)
Embroidering: I finished the paisley trouser panels I previously posted about and started on a little narrow band to go below them at the trouser hem. My previous plan had been to use shisha embroidery for the band (I even bought the mirrors and made a sampler!), but then I learned about guilloche stitch and realised I wanted to use that instead. Photos of panels and part of the band are below (click to embiggen).
