Moving
For awhile I've been thinking about moving from livejournal mostly because I don't find the mechanics of posting and managing posts to be all that convenient. So I've set up a wordpress blog and imported my livejournal posts there.

New Corset!
So the lacing strips tore and the channels aren't cut off the bottom and I'm still missing a few bones but it's close to wearable! I wasn't going to post these because it's not finished and I never took any progress pictures but I'm too excited! I'll do a proper post when it's finished I promise.

Église St-Germain des Près
Last weekend I followed one of the guided walks from Walks Through Lost Paris. It was really interesting despite the fact that I felt like a dork sticking my nose in the book on every street corner. There are four walks all together in this book and I intend to do them all at some point. As fascinating as theses walks are, they are not the point of ( Read more... ) -
Swing Dress Mockup - Round One
So I started the mockup of the swing dress. It`s been slow going but hey, I'm doing this by hand! I slipped it on once I got the bodice cobbled together and immediately saw that the bodice was too long. I kind of expected this because I'm a bit short waisted and the pattern notes that the bodice tends to be on the long side. I took up the bodice a ( Read more... )
