My Dress

[saffiter]

Is now looking like a dress! I spent this weekend (in between working on an assignment) sewing the green band on the bottom on to it. I had to unstitch a bit 'cause it was going wonky, but I'm finally finished that part.

Things to finish:
1. Embroider cuffs (same green as the green band) and sew those on.
2. Cut out taxi-cab yellow strip to sew on as another band above the green one (I have the fabric, I just need to wait for it to dry).
3. Embroider and bead neckline and attach that to the dress.
4. Sew the bottom of the dress together (it's kinda split at the moment to make it easier to sew the bottom bands on).
5. Hem the under dress (it's calico, you can only really see it at the neckline right now (That will get fixed once I have the neckline embroidery attached).
6. Make a belt.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to when it's finished. I have other projects planned.

Even if it isn't finished, it looks awesome on you! *^____^*
I wish I could sew like you!!

Thanks. You know the dress is going well when the re-enactors keep squeeling over it and the colours.

I keep joking with my housemates that, should the electricity ect suddenly die overnight I'll still have a job. I can always become a seamstress ^__^. It's not easy to do, though. I'm always stabbing myself and bleeding. It's really painful when you hit bone (and I've done that a few times).

Oh, pretty! I love the purple and... teal, is that?... together.

The store called it "Jade" but it's pretty close to teal. I still have ribbons in the same colour to embroider and bead that will go around the sleeves and neckline ^___^.

Plus there's that bright yellow strip to go above that green on the bottom of the dress.

Watch this space, it's a work in progress.
