madamemodisteI officially haven't sewn a single stitch in a whole week! I needed a break after the purple natural form gown and the 1890's half mourning gown. I wore the purple gown this past Saturday, but photos didn't turn out. The details of the gown are totally lost in the flash. The photos I posted before are better, so I won't bother posting the photos of me in the gown. I also wore the half mourning gown to a mourning art museum two weekends ago and had a great time. Photos posted here and here.
Joann's is having a sale!
Butterick patterns are 2 for $3, so I got B4929 (jackets pattern) and B4732 (evening gown and coat pattern). For the second one, I just wanted the pattern for the evening coat. I picture making it from a net lace fabric. I plan to goth it out with puffed sleeves, too.
Notions wall is 40% off
Linen and linen look fabrics are 40% off
Next I began work on a hat project I've had on the table for 3 years! I've been trying to figure out how to shape my buckram so that it has an hour glass shape. I've asked several milliners over the course of time, and they either won't tell me or they don't know. So, after a conversation with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
labricoleuse last year, I decided to carve my own hat block out of styrofoam. Wow, that was an interesting project!! So I have finished the hat block and will start on the hat this week.
