Gads, it's been all weekend it seems. I have been doing stupid fastening by hand loops for the front of the bodice. I have to do them for the back of the skirt fastening, but that may end up being safety pinned just to get through this darn picnic. Grrr. Well, the trim won't be happening either until later this summer, just selling at too many shows this summer.More to come about the bodice. Front and back views pics and hopefully some actual event photos.
I have been finally getting the rest of the tiny green checked fabric into skirt form and I am almost to a trying on point. I had to mend a grommet hole on a corset this week and have got all the under pinnings together. I hope to try it on tomorrow and get the length right.The bodice is finished accept for putting in the spiral stays. I had hoped to trim it out using the new machine, but I still have a bit to pay on it. I guess I will have to work on Harry P as the breaking in project. Of course, as luck will have it, I am really having a hard time finding the fabric I would like for the robes.gggggrrrhhhh.I have some photos I hope to have up soon for the blog here. The newer camera has been so much easier to use and I don't feel like I am fighting it too much. I still have to use all the features in it, which I have not tried them all yet. Ahh, gotta dig out that straw hat and get it trimmed up.
