Hello!! Long time, no post, eh?

madamemodisteI'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).
