theladyrebeccaI'm almost done with the Rapunzel embroideries. I did three more motifs last night, which means I only have two left to do. It's weird, though - I couldn't find my cutting diagram from last time when I was cutting this one out (naturally, I found it a few days ago), but I think despite the fact that this skirt is much bigger at the waist than the last one, the hem must actually be about 4+" smaller. Last time I did all my motifs, and then wound up having to create a 2" flower to stick in the CB. This time, I'm worried that my motifs might actually overlap. (That would suck. I hope they don't!)
On the plus side, I haven't run out of pink thread yet, so I'm kind of thinking I might be able to make it through the last two motifs. I think I have about 17" of pink thread stitching left? Please keep your fingers crossed for me!
I think I might be able to actually start on skirt assembly tonight, after I finish the embroideries. Though I also have to pack for my LA trip this weekend, so who knows. But I'd really like to be able to get the skirt on its waistband, because then I can see how the bodice looks with it, and finish that up. If I can make the bodice boning decision and machine sew the bottom piping on by Friday night, then I can take the bodice and all the lace with me to sew on the plane. There's a lot of handsewing that needs to be done with the skirt, too, so maybe I can even get to that point with the skirt as well? I hope so!
Here's another really crappy pic of my skirt embroideries so far.
