Sewing progress

[dancingleaf]

sewing -

still conflicted on the plum over-skirt.  I don't know if I want it to be - like the ones I saw at the Audra workshop OR in more of a handkerchief style.   But I cut it into a square so now I just need to decide.  /____\  or   sort of  like so....   |/V\| 

I didn't finish the gold pants - instead I sorted through my patterns.  And found half a vest pattern.  I found the back? where the heck is the front half?  I remember attempting to make it and finding it too small in the chest so... that might mean it is in one of the boxes of fabric - still attached to the cheap cotton I was using to test that pattern with but after sorting through all my patterns I was not ready to tackle the fabric too.

I also - believe it or not - found this

... I know it is old because the entire pattern set  only cost $1.50.  - never used

I inherited patterns from my mother's sewing box and I also took a box of patterns from my sister when she moved.  And she  inherited patterns from her ex-MIL (way back when she was still with her ex and still doing a lot of sewing)  I wonder where it came from?

Not complicated. I have enough fabric for it... but I was really hoping to go the vest route.   hmmm.  I wonder if I have enough to do both?  the bra doesn't need very much.... just the straps mostly...

Instead of sewing I did my ironing.  yippie.

We got some snow last night.  I have instructions on how to run the snowblower.  Normally I let J do it but... I may take a crack at it myself today.  Why not?-

well scratch that.  My neighbour just did it for me with his tractor.  bonus. :)

It'd be fun if you posted pics of the costume pieces when you're done. I have a friend that's going to make my costumes for me so I get excited when people make their own. Yea for your neighbor!

I did have a full photo essay on the construction of a bellydance bra on Flickr. but... I didn't renew my pro-account and now I can't access the set. I've been debating the renewal - trying to decide if I use my account enough.

I wish they just had a flat fee instead of a yearly renewal.
