So much Belle!
Apr. 19th, 2015 11:33 pmI've been doing lots of planning/collecting for the first Belle commission this weekend. Yesterday, I went to Joanns and picked up most of the rest of the fabric for Belle, and today I worked out my labor estimate, and searched for more supplies online. I'm kind of excited about embossing velvet. I'm sure I won't be so excited after working at it for a few hours, but it's something I've never tried before, so it will be cool to add a new skill. I just hope it works!
I also did a little more smocking on Little Red. However, now I've closed my show, so I don't have downtime backstage or an hour long bus ride to the theatre in which I could potentially work. This means I have to be better at time management, and maybe fit it in during my shorter bus rides to/from work, or *gasp* evening tv time. And at some point, maybe I'll even finish the smocking, so I can actually cut out the bodice piece! Not that I can't cut out the rest of the bodice pieces now...
Oh, and my bf and I went to a fun event today, hosted by SITU. I didn't really take any pictures, because I'd already worn the costume, but I'm sure some will surface from other attendees that I can share. It was a docent-led tour of the Museum of Flight, with a 1930s/40s theme. I wore my Miss Pettigrew outfit, naturally. And I learned a lot about early commercial air travel!
