Hello!! Long time, no post, eh?

[madamemodiste]

I've missed talking to you guys about sewing projects! My semester became so overwhelming that I couldn't sew a thing after October.

But now I'm BACK!! Yay!

I have a few projects I hope to complete over Winter Break.

I'm making a version of this Pingat dress from the Kyoto book:



But I'm using some crazy fabric I found at Jomar: red satin embossed with a crocodile pattern. I'm using that where ever you see the floral fabric on the Pingat dress. Then I have a faux silk dupioni in a matching red for the rest of the dress. I'm still looking for a good red fringe. I plan to skip the plaid bow at the neckline ;)



The color is a bit off here, but you get the idea.

Another thing I think I'm going to tackle first is a black velvet ballgown bodice for a late 1880s style gown. Sort of like the bodice on the left (but in black).

Yay for winter break sewing!

That red embossed satin is going to be such fun to work with, and the design you chose to use it for is perfect (and probably very different from what someone else picking it up from Jomar would have done with it)!

I can't wait to see these projects come to life! I have no doubt they will be gorgeous! That crocodile fabric is really great.
