Dec. 30th, 2016 01:34 amI used my new skates today! My bf and I went ice skating for an hour after work. My arches were definitely hurting for the first half, but they got better, and I'm excited to go skating a few more times over the few weeks leading up to the Little House party.
Afterwards, I took a nap. But I did sew for a few hours this evening! I handsewed down the inside edge of all the fur I had sewn onto the bodice yesterday, and sewed down all the pleats on the inside of the bodice waist. Then I cut out the "ribbon" strips for the bodice, and melted the edges, and pinned all of the ribbons in place. I also picked out which buttons to use (black/gold textured plastic buttons), and antiqued the gold with black nail polish so it wouldn't be shiny.
Tomorrow I'm going to start with sewing all the ribbons in place, then put the fur around the neckline, then buttons/buttonholes, and finally sleeves. I should also probably try it all on at some point...
Also, since everyone else is doing it, I'm working on backing up my LJ to dreamwidth (same username).
