theladyrebeccaI sewed the two skirt panels together, and did all my pleats at the waist for the riding habit skirt. And then I put it on Antoinette over the bum pad and quilted petticoat. Success! The wool falls nicely, and the underthings fill it out quite well. I'm probably going to have to wait to get to Joanns and get tapes for the waist, unless I want to spend more money and get them at the more expensive fabric store next to my work. I'll try to get some pics up by the end of the weekend, but I work and have shows tomorrow and Saturday, which doesn't leave much time for sewing.
Speaking of which, though, have I mentioned lately how much I am loving my new job? In case I haven't, it's wonderful! I work at a sewing and vac store/repair place, and in the 1.5 months that I've been there, I have already learned soo much. Which means I'm getting better at selling things, too, which leads to more commission for me! Now I just have to control my spending and stop dreaming about owning one of the big Brother embroidery machines. :)
Oh, and in other news, the stockings I ordered from Sock Dreams got here already! I'm going to have to order more now. The ones I got fit nicely, and the red color is great, (I just wish they were clocked!) though I think I'm going to be in need of garters. I love the free shipping, too!
