Shopping for supplies
Oct. 18th, 2008 09:15 amYesterday I was at Joann's getting supplies for my 18th c. riding jacket. I ended up getting the New Look 6756 cape pattern. I figure it will be good to make a faux skin (I was thinking snakeskin) cape for my steampunk outfit. I like the sort of military feel about this one.
Of course, my Joann's is sold out of the black snakeskin and black shiny pvc. Darn it! 60% off right now, too. I might pop over to the big Joann's and check there.
Progress with the 18th c. riding habit jacket: lining and FF are together at CF, but I find that it's still too big in the waist and too small at the neckline. It was too small at the neckline in the medium, too, so I'm not sure how to handle it. Cut the neckline bigger so my top button can button?
bauhausfrau, did you have this problem?
