petticoat, yay!
So my travelgown is really going along in a snailing pace. I guess with the deadline so far away (3D premiere) I just don't get the spirit to sew for long stretches of time. (not that I'm a fast sewer in the first place. Anyway I've added the last of the white ruffles to the petticoat. I want one more row of ruffles for the bottom, but I want to make that row from the same fabric as the skirt. That means I need to cut out the skirt first. I also need to add a closure in the petticoat but that's not a big thing.
Next step is to finish the stays. I got my boning on Friday, so I really hope I can get myself to finish it this week. I'm going away on Thursday though, so that's not certain that it will be finished.
I've also been trying to decide on the velvet. I posted earlier that I had gotten a nice purple velvet, but the more I look at it I think it's a shade too blue. That means that I need to contact the company about a custom job, since their wine-coloured velvet is too red. I need something between their wine and purple.
I was also home at my sister a week ago and found a pattern that I will use as a base for the coat. It's a dreadful 80's ensemble, but one of the pieces is a long velvet coat, with a high collar and wide skirt. I think it will need less modifications compared to the other patterns that I have at hand.
