Wow! That's an incredible about of sewing! Bravo! :-)

I finally started a new sewing project last night after not touching anything for about a month. Hooray for a huge stash of fabric where I can just whip something out and start working on it!

Thank you!

Progress pics, please! I look forward to see what you're up to!

What an amazing accomplishment. Especially considering the intricacies of the garments.

I tremble to think what you will be able to unleash with the new serger in your possession.

Thank you!

Hell, I tremble to think of using the serger LOL!! As soon as I'm done with the current bodice, I'll break out the serger and start practicing.

All that, and school with straight A's, too! Amazing accomplishments, I'd say!!

The majority of my work was done before I began school this past summer, so as a stay at home lady, I had time on my hands! I am impressed that I got the pinstripe 1890's suit and the 18th century gown done. I admit my school work suffered while I made the 18th century!

That is an impressive list! I may have to 'borrow' your layout for project goals for the upcoming year!! ;)

Thanks! You don't really realize hoe much was done until you list it all out, so it's good for me to do. What are your plans for '08?

Wow, that's a whole lotta stuff! That PVC parasol sure was cool...

[madamemodiste.livejournal.com]

Back at ya, Lady!! I'd love to do another few parasols this year. I need a black velvet. NEED.
