Whoops.

I was very bad today. I went into Joanns to get more buttons, some twill tape, and some ribbon for my teens bathing suit shoes. What should have been a <$10 trip wound up turning into a $98 venture. Somehow, I wound up walking out of there with the items I went in for (though not really, since they didn't have those exact buttons I wanted), plus 5.5yds of light blue embroidered cotton, 5.5 yds of a floral embroidered white net (I'm thinking of using both for a Regency dress), 6.25 yds of a gold diamond tucked taffeta, the new Simplicity pattern for the Steampunk bolero jacket and bustle, a pack of five nail files, and 8 clearance spools of ribbon. Bad Rebecca.

Lol! Last night I went to spotlight to get embroidery thread and walked out with three patterns, three different vintage print fabrics, beads....and the embroidery threads!

Now I want to go home and sew!!!!!

You said ribbon for your shoes. What are you doing shoe wise? I am stumped myself.

In most of the pictures I've seen, at least in the teens, the shoes have been ballet flat looking shoes that have ties that wrap a couple times around the leg. I found black basic flats at payless, and I'm going to attach the ribbons to the inside, like I did with my regency shoes. I don't know how they'll do in the water, though.
