Jun. 21st, 2016 02:40 amI got a fair amount done today. I shipped off two etsy orders, basically selling out of all my Harry Potter fabric, then went to Joanns for more stabilizer and fabric to make into bias for Anna's hem. And my Joanns had just gotten in more (albeit different) Harry Potter fabric! So I bought all of one of them, and 5 yds of the other, both of which I'll put in my etsy shop when I'm back from CA.
When I got home, I went to work on my bows, and I finished all 14 of them. There's just something so happy about an army of bows. That said, I now only have 27" left, out of which I have to somehow get my bertha pleating and a large butt bow. And I'd love it if I could get two small bows for the sleeves, but I kind of think that's not going to happen. Oh, and in interesting Victorian child dress news, I wrote to the Boston MFA last night, asking if they had any images of the back of the dress, and got a super fast response back saying they don't, but the next time she's in the storage facility, she'll take pictures of it for me! She said it could be a few weeks, though, so hopefully it happens before I finish.
I also did a little more on the fourth row of the skirt.
And I hemmed Anna with the bias I made, and marked all the spots for the embroidery, which will hopefully make it much easier when I actually go to embroider next week!
My handsewing is now all packed and ready for the airport tomorrow. With any luck, I'll manage to finish it all before I make it back to Seattle next week. *Fingers crossed!*
