4th April 2012: ALL of the sewing later No really, ALL OF THE SEWING
The skirt is done! It's soooo long, I will end up tripping over it at some point but it's done 8D
As much as I love handstitching, it does take forever :C I reckon this skirt took at least 10-12 hours to do in total
2nd April 2012: Minor setback Tried on my skirt yesterday, and it's 2" short. HAVE I GOTTEN TALLER???
Eitherway, said skirt couldn't be made longer without looking terrible, so bought some cheap heavy cotton and a really cute new pattern. Hopefully this one will go better!
1st April 2012: Shirt done Yaaaaay
Got a bit of fixing to do on the collar so that it stays up (interfacing is my enemy) but so proud of this. I've never been able to make poof sleeves before so this is a big step for me :)
I hate gathering. The amount this shirt needed was ridiculous. What kind of farmer wears such a frilly shirt? Or a corset????
Obligatory bad quality photo of progess~
29th March 2012: Shirt Started remaking it as the one I made went all wrong and it was just easier to start all over. Will probably use the old shirt for Thumbelina XD
Currently having a mini-war with the sleeves as they keep going too poofy or not poofy enough.
Also have collected a mini army of easter chick pompom things.
20th February 2012: Not sure if happy Finished the corset today. I like the corset itself, I'm pretty proud of it. I'm just not sure if I'm happy with how it looks ON me XD
It does wonders for my posture though, no slouching for me!
The picture is terrible, I apologise profusely.
8th January 2012: Progress Corset pretty much done, I just need to put the boning in and hem the top. Will probably go with plastic this time as it's easier to cut than steel/metal.
Skirt is all done
Top is well underway~
