No Hanukah miracle for me. I did more embroidery last night (I think three motifs more), and I have enough stabilizer left at this point for one more motif. Oh well, off to Joanns I go. I need to get ribbon and lace for the trimming anyway (because despite the fact that I feel like I have a million different types of lace, none are what I actually need), so at least it's not just for one item.
I also put the new piping on the neckline, and started whipping down the edge. I actually didn't take the bus today, for the first time ever, but if I don't finish it while the other machine is embroidering, this will become bus sewing tomorrow. I need to wait to do the bodice hem piping until I can decide on the type of boning I'm using.
Anyway, here's a pic of the embroidery so far. I haven't pressed this or even removed all the stabilizer yet, so hopefully that explains the wrinkles.
