It really is pretty hard to read.

The Saga of Ruffles
Those who follow my Twitter may have seen me lamenting about ruffles over the past few weeks. Here is the Tale of Ruffles ( Read more... ) -
Likely change of plan
Well, hell. I finally sat down and started sewing ruffles on my can-can skirt lining to discover... I have NOWHERE NEAR enough ruffles. I cut them too narrow and so it's going to take twice as many rows to get to the top of the skirt. Pretty sure I don't have enough fabric to make enough to do that at this point.

I've got all the ruffles I need, I think, and I'm working on the bodice pattern. I'm worried that I don't have the main fabric for my skirt and bodice piping, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do about it. Hot pink and yellow damask? wtf. -
What would you like to know?

And shipped crazy fast, so this weekend's project is to draft the pattern for the bodice. I can't actually put it together until the other fabrics come, but drafting and fitting is always the part that takes me the ( Read more... ) -
Here we go then.
I'm slowly cobbling together the materials I need for Mome Fromage from across the internets, but the important thing is that the blue and aqua taffeta I need for the skirt lining has arrived, and so it's time for me to start making ruffles, since that will be BY FAR the most time-consuming part of all of this. And a part I am not looking forward ( Read more... )
