sewing update.

... lets see.

the gold pants - long finished.  the gold vest is on hold- I can't decide if I want to finish the edges or line it - the way that the pattern says I am supposed to.

the blue cover up is cut out and partially sewn.  I'd move on from here but I still have the gold thread in the serger and in order to take the next step with the blue cover up - I need to change the thread in the serger.   D@mn sergers - I wish they weren't so much trouble to change the thread.

I also whipped up a little dance skirt to go to class in last night - based on a design I saw  for sale at the Audra workshop.  silver metallic.  It was cute.  I really liked it.  It fits into my whole personal disdain for coin belts in class.  I just don't like wearing them.  I don't mind if other people wear them.  I just like being quiet.  probably why I dislike zills too.  I think I am going to make a couple more in this style.  needs a few more modifications but... it looked really cute dancing.  I cut the plum into the same shape.  It doesn't have as much stretch  any stretch - the silver metallic has a fair bit, so... we'll see.

I also have an idea for a top to match - so I'd better sketch that out before I forget what I want to do.  I have no idea what it would  be like to perform in but... if I ever make it - it will look cool.

I'm still thinking about the purple mermaid/trumpet/fishtail whatever you want to call it skirt.  planning planning.  I spend a lot of time thinking before I ever make the first cut.
