drinkin' and sewin'

[madamemodiste]

Well, it seems I can't sit still. I couldn't just enjoy the rest of my afternoon and watch tv or have a nap. Oh no! I had to become obsessed with making an elbow length cape. Yeah, I know it's 95 degrees out...leave me alone.

Using the TV 590 1890's cape and a fashion plate I liked, I chose fabric and trim from the stash and started plotting. Jason chose the collar design because I couldn't decide.

black taffeta and black lace with satin ribbons. Yummy. Seriously, if this turns out the way it should, this will be freaking adorable.

I just finished pinning 90 thousand yards of black lace around the hem while having a glass of shiraz, so I'm beginning to relax. Things got interesting when I realized I was 6 inches short on the amount of lace I needed. Good thing I kept lace remnants from a past project. I don't think many will notice there are two different laces there. Heh heh.

OK, I'm off to put on the lining and realize I've put the collar on wrong or some other disaster.

See you tomorrow :)

I was just sewing too! Though, minus the drinking part. I'm just tired and that seems good enough (though maybe not quite as giggle inducing..hehe).
