Fabric shopping
To celebrate my last official class of the Fall 2007 semester, I went fabric shopping at JoAnn's. The cotton velveteen was 50% off (which is rare), so I got 6 yards of that (black, duh). I also got 5 more yards of the pretty, pretty black satin taffeta. So now I see a new Victorian gown made of black satin taffeta and black cotton velveteen.
YUM!!!
I asked the ladies at JoAnn's about my quest for a serger, and they all told me to go for the White Speedylock. Go figure...they don't even sell that!
I think I'm good on fabric for the moment, and should begin concentrating on bulking up on trim. I have, like, none. I'm envisioning pretty venise lace, beaded trim (not the fringe kind), boxpleated ribbon, ruffled lace and more. Can I have a million dollars?
