Simplicity 2927
This morning I had a very productive time drafting a pattern for a pair of leggings. By lunchtime I'd transformed a piece of lovely cotton jersey that I bought from The Cloth House several years ago, and in the afternoon I started on a simple tunic to go with them.
Say hello to Simplicity 2927:

A little something I've been working on...
I've spent ALL YEAR (so far) trying to work out what I wanted to do with the Bishopston fabrics, and finally, I think I've cracked it. (Possibly I may have just cracked. It's hard to tell in this stinking heat.)

Ordering corsets...
All four corset pre-order places for August have now been filled. Thank you ladies!
I will be demanding photos for the gallery, so that I can encourage people to sign up to order more. :)
I have made a gallery of corset fabrics over on Flickr, and a page explaining how to order corsets over on Wordpress ( Read more... ) -
Four prototype corsets.

Slight email difficulty...
My computer has decided to throw a little wobbly, so I am currently without email. As you can see, I have internet access (thanks to evicting Paul from his computer), but I have no access to my email at all until my own computer's fixed ( Read more... ) -
Decisions, decisions...
My next dress mock-up doesn't need to be ready until the end of August. Between the next cupcake dress, some slippers, more tote bags and maybe a corset or two, I think I might finally have found the time to make myself a new coat. (Yes. In the middle of summer. I know ( Read more... ) -
The brocade coat is finished!
I know these photos aren't of the best quality - it's pretty dark out there today, and for some reason my camera refuses to focus on this fabric properly. Hopefully I'll be able to take some better pictures at the weekend, when puddingcat comes to collect it.
You can see all the pictures of the coat as it progressed over at FlickrFor those of you interested ( Read more... )
