Well as much as it pains me to do this, but I must withdraw from the Iron Dress Competition. Seeing as I had to go up to D.C. last week unexpectedly and just returned home last night in time for class I simply don't have the time to finish my gown. :( I will post photos tonight when I get home from class of my gown as it stands now on my ( Read more... )

Well, I haven't been into much except school work. I've had on average about 1000 pages a week to read in between classes and that has kept me busy busy, when you combine that with belly dance rehearsal's during the week I barely have time to glance at my mannequin standing there with a hoopo skirt and the beginnings of my ID on it. So far I do ( Read more... )

Well I've actually made progress this weekend on the ID Project. I got the pale yellow ID dress flatlined with pale yellow duck cloth, that was 12.00 of my 25.00 allowance because I had no duck that wasn't red or black in my stash, which is fine because I already have everything else I need in the "Room of Doom". In addition to getting the pale ( Read more... )

Well so much for the bright yellow bumble bee dress. I didn't have nearly as much of the fabric as I thought I did so there will be no doublet dress out of the fabric. The doublet is cut out and looks simply fabulous but I'm far short on having enough fabric for the skirt....*sigh* Well I guess I'll be using the pale yellow instead, not really ( Read more... )

Well this damn tropical storm thing is just annoying. They closed my office which is a pain, campus is closed so no class tonight either. *mutter* But on the plus side, I did take the opportunity to work on my Iron Dress finally. Decided on a Bumble Bee color dress with some red highlights. I cut out the Doublet today, its a bright goldish- ( Read more... )

Ya know, it wasn't enough I get beat up by a pissed-off medicine cabinet, then yesterday the Saturn's transmission decided to die. I cannot handle much more. Who has the wine, and whose buying because I will now be officially poor till hell freezes...

Someone put me out of my misery....

Why isn't there a "defeated" mood choice btw?

So much for me getting anything accomplished on my sewing this weekend. This morniing one of the two medicine cabinets in my bathroom fell on my head, bending my glasses into oblivion and almost taking out my eye. I now have a huge cut down my face and right under my eye, to go with the pounding headache and the pain in my neck that came from the ( Read more... )

Well my grand plans for sewing have been shoved to the side as we are now rehearsing two nights a week. Risa and I are are dancing on Tuesday's as well as the group rehearsal's on Thursday's. So my days for sewing are cut down. Granted I love my belly dancing but I need time to sew also. I am having lots of trouble with this whole faire in ( Read more... )

Well I spent all day Sunday cleaning and rearranging my sewing room. Not sure yet if I actually did any good but all my fabric is now out of boxes and the only items still in boxes are works in progress or items needing repaired (2 boxes worth). I did succeed in getting Laura's corset cut out and my corset for my ID dresses underthings traced. ( Read more... )

Well I think I've chose my ID fabrics but knowing me I'll go back and forth a few times. It's either between this lovely black floral print I have which many of you may remember from a rain day dress (I have TONS of that fabric) and a pale yellow (again from another faire dress left over); a red and gold silk combo; or a copper toned floral print ( Read more... )
