madamemodisteBeth sent me some inspiration images last night to try to jump start my desire to work on something. She sent me this and I freaked:
I have all that black cotton velvet and braid trim from Jomar. I don't even need to buy anything, so this is a perfect project to work on. Right now I'm trying to decide if the back center panel should be of the left over black on black dragon brocade or if the whole thing should be velvet. I'm making it as a jacket/bodice rather than a true coat. This will be for club nights when it's 10 degrees out, like now.
Can't wait for Beth and Jess to get here later today to see my progress and give their input!
