It's been an odd year so far... Bit of a blast, but lots of fun along the way!
The last bit of insane FTL sewing included two wedding gowns and a suit! We made two wedding gowns for a photo shoot to promote our up-coming new wedding website, which happened on Saturday 21st... Wednesday 25th my nephew got married, and I neded a suit for that...
And we don't do alterations, but my nephew's bride was let down over the alterations to her wedding gown at the last minute! So we nipped that in above the bust (serious cheet: it wasn't worth spending a day unpicking three layers with chiffon to take it in half an inch, so we ran a band of wide elastic round the top! Just made her feel a tad more secure!) and sliced some of the front hem (leaving the length for the train at the back), and jazzed up the skirt with a few sparkly crystals!
Coming up we have an eskimo and two ice guards for a Christmas thing, a Victorian frock coat and waistcoat, a gold gown, a silver grey gown (both our 'mock kirtle' design), and several historic shirts - all for mid November! Personal projects may have to be punted into evenings and weekends!
If you don't see much of me these days, this is why!
