Stash project: Autumn zone-front anglaise
Although I've just completed a stash project and thus am allowed to start a new project, I have been working on another stash project. It's a zone-front anglaise for which I'm using the (orangy-browny) burgundy embroidered taffeta. First I was thinking of making a gold coloured petticoat to go with it. But that changed when, by coincidence, I held the dusty pink silk taffeta next to the embroidered taffeta. These fabrics looked so good together, I just had to use it for the petticoat. So I've used 2 stash fabrics for this project. YAY!
Here are the pictures of the fabrics. The first one is with flash and the second one without. The flash one makes the dusty pink look whiter, but the non-flash picture makes it look warmer than it is. So the real colour is somewhere in between.
The petticoat is already finished. Here it is:
The anglaise is also almost finished. I only took a pic when trying to decide how to make the cut-out.
This weekend I've sewn in the sleeves and made the sleeve trimmings. I've made the cut-out and sewn everything in place. I'm thinking of making a button closure on this anglaise. Usually I use hook and eye tape, but I want to do something different this time. Hopefully I can get this gown finished this week, because I really want to work on a new Tudor gown. But I also want to finish some 18th century gowns for our upcoming holiday to the Loire Valley in France. So the Tudor project will probably be on hold (again) untill we have returned.
