I haven't been posting, but I have been sewing (and painting). My commission was picked up on Saturday, and then I went back to working on orange dress ruffles. The ruffles are allnow completed, including fixing the bodice ruffles to look more like the skirt ruffles. Now what I have to figure out is how to attach the bottom row of skirt ruffles, because I'm out of dress fabric, and the organza that hangs below the cording is not long enough to hang the ruffle from. Whatever fabric I use to attach it won't actually be seen, so most likely, I'm going to wind up picking up some orange quilting cotton, though that's kind of annoying, since the whole rest of the dress is silk.

I also picked up a new commission, re-making a ren-fair style skirt to be attached to an existing bodice. It's a rush commission, to be finished on Friday, which fits nicely in the not-having-a-job-the-rest-of-the-week schedule I'm on, since my temp ended yesterday afternoon. I had two interviews earlier this week, though, so fingers crossed that maybe something will come through for next week. In the mean time, besides the other commission, I'm working on putting together some of the last minute details for 1776 auditions this weekend. I'm so excited to be on the other side of the table for once.
