Well, I certainly have been busy, and am about to take some pictures for you lovelies while this sits open :)
This is my hat :) Made from a pre-made fascinator base, I then covered it with the pale blue velveteen. I then rolled the velveteen and attached to the edge. I am yet to find flowers I like, so will be keeping an eye out for those.
The layers you see, or don't see here are as follows-
- Chemise and drawers
- Corset, which is still the mock-up- though I have cut out the white and organised a busk and boning
- Petticoat- As before, and still not ironed
- Underskirt that I drafted and sewed yesterday, the waistband is not yet attached and nor is it hemmed, but I am extremely pleased with it.
Yay, I now need to make that trip to Melbourne this week, sew an overskirt (which looks kinda like an apron), complete my corset and bodice. Sounds simple, in reality though...
ooh looking good! i love the colours!
ReplyDeletehey i messaged lucas the other day about catching up, rowan and i were thinking of heading to ballarat soonish and thought, well, since you guys are there, we should do something together :)
