The bathing suit bodice is coming along swimmingly (pun not originally intended, but hey). All the bodice pieces are sewn together, the back opening (I know, why did I do this to myself?) is pressed and pinned and waiting to be tacked and have hooks and eyes added, sleeves are cut out and serged. I think I may finish everything but the bars for the eyes tonight. I know vanessa_lynne talked about another sewing day on Sunday, so I may have her help me mark the placement for the bars, because I was stupid enough to let H/A win and create a bodice with hooks and eyes in the back! :(
I did not go to Joanns last night, so I still don't have everything cut out for the bustle bodice. I will go tonight. I have to go out tonight because I also have to go grocery shopping, and my Joanns list keeps getting longer. Hopefully while I'm there I can also figure out what I'm doing for the bathing suit belt. It looks like pleated leather, but I'm not sure I want to deal with having to sew over pleather. I also need to pick up everything for the two limiteds I'm taking. I know I shouldn't have waited this long, because I know I'm not going to be able to find batiste or lawn at Joanns, which means if I don't have anything that will suffice in the stash (*fingers crossed!*) then I'll have to make a trip to Nancy's this weekend.
I did, however, start on sewing the bustle bodice. Four pieces are serged, and two have actually been assembled. Maybe I'll get the rest of them assembled by tomorrow night? I wish I didn't have to work during the day - it's such a time suck when I really need to be sewing!
