Pinkie and plans...
May. 23rd, 2007 01:13 pmI have been sewing, honest, just nothing worth taking pix of yet.
I have all the guts sewn of the new Pink Venetian and I've figured out the layout and style for the rest of it. I think I'll make it fairly late so I can have a go at those shoulder ruffs, and probably do a split front skirt just to make it a little different. Now all I need is a pretty green silk for the petticoat - I already have a gorgeous pink/gold/green zari trim for it.
I also bought trim for my 18c zone-front Kyoto coat. :-) I have some creme dupioni in my stash for that. Then I need some organdy for the skirt/chemise dress underneath. That should be quite fluffy.
And I think I have everything I need for the gala outfit other than the balls to start it... Just kidding. I hope I can knock out Pinkie by next week (excepting sleeves if I get fancy-schmancy) and can start on the gala duds.
Just about 2 months of sewing time to go...
