Project Completion + Bonuses! (PICTURE HEAVY)
I've done a fair bit of stuff lately, but my photographer's also been really busy, so I'm only just now getting pictures. I'll link back to previous things where applicable.
There be pictures down
Project Title Sound of Music JSK
Project Start Date I ordered the fabric ages ago, but was too cared to cut into it until around the beginning of June.
Planned Finish Date none
Actual Finish Date June 22nd
Did you make changes from original plan? I hadn't originally planned pintucks in the front, but I cut the bodice too big, and didn't have ANY extra. I like it better this way.
Did you discover something you want to share? Always check the entire length of your lace before writing your review. At the tail end there was a rose missing from the center of the motif. Luckily, I was able to shorten it by one and hand stitch it, I can only tell where it is by feel now!
How happy are you with the result? 99%, and the 1% is because I need to remember to carry a Tide stick with such light fabric!
Project Title Ivory Chiffon Blouse
Did you make changes from original plan? Not really. I loosely based it off of a VM blouse I liked (what with the pintucks in the back), but I used my favorite blouse pattern, Simplicity 2339
Did you discover something you want to share? Chiffon is a lot easier to cut out when you have something under it, be in cotton or newspaper.
How happy are you with the result? Very. It's very comfortable, and lightweight while still being very covering.
The shoes are from this tutorial that I made
I'd also like to make the following disclaimer. I am NOT a violinist. I am NOT a dancer. I AM sorry if my form is wrong.
On to the pictures!
Boring flat pictures:
I am REALLY proud that both the pattern and the lace matched up. I could not have planned that better if I'd tried.
BONUS
Pictures from my Circus at Night set!
You can check out the full set over on my journal, located here)
