starting to come together

[jennylafleur]

Almost finished cutting out the faille - just the sleeves to go. It took longer than it should because I'm adding a train of doom, which means I had to do lots of measuring and messing about with the skirt angles. The rest of the family spent the afternoon seeing PotC3 (to which they said "eh") so when they got back I pulled out more of the fabric pieces I'm using on this plus the things I bought today and I'm happy to say they approved.

I'm so excited - this costume is really starting to come together!! I'm relived my ideas and materials for it are melding into something I'm digging. *YES!* Lots more work but coming along.

I'm off to a scrapbooking workshop for the rest of the evening, which makes me a little sad (I want to stay and sew) but it's probably a good thing. My back is starting to really hurt. I think I need to raise my bed up before I do anymore cutting...

You work quickly! :-o
I, myself, often cut on my dining room table (with a cardboard cutting board from JA in between, of course).

I have a couple of days in a row to sew so I'm trying to take advantage! :>
