Mar. 11th, 2015 03:08 pmI have been sewing, but I haven't been taking pictures, which is why I haven't been posting. I've done quite a bit on the orange dress, though. The skirt at this point is almost done. I'm in the middle of re-pinning the hem, because I think the length was actually too long. Then I need to figure out how to put the cording on the bottom of the skirt. There's no place to tuck the cording backing into, so I think I'm going to wind up cutting the backing off, then just whipping around the cording to stitch it into place. But the skirt does have all the ruffles on, plus the bow, and it is attached to the waistband. I'm actually going to attach the skirt directly to the bodice, though, and have not done that.
I was going to put the ruffles on the bodice yesterday, but I realized I need to bind the neckline first, and a) I have no fabric left to make self-binding, and b) I have no bias tape in anything close to the right color. So I'm off in a little bit to go pick up some bias. I will post pictures soon, though!
I also have to go check out Elsa skirt fabrics, since I will be having another commission coming up in a couple weeks. Still nothing on the actual job front yet, though. Last week's commission filled in the days I wasn't working quite nicely, but I have a feeling I won't even have anything temporary coming up until at least after Port Townsend next weekend.
In other news, we had auditions/callbacks for 1776 this weekend, and we are almost done casting. I'm so freaking excited! So much so that I may or may not have already finished choreographing Cool Considerate Men. Also, my BF and I practiced more archery last week, and somehow, he's already as good as I am! (He had never even shot an arrow before I got my bow). Oh well. I guess I better practice more. :)
