As it has been half term this week it has ment that i have been able to do some sewing!Yeah! I also have had time to be a domestic goddess and make lots of cupcakes with delicious toppings!But hey ho back to the sewing because if I eat many more then I won't fit in my current projects :)
At the moment I am making a floor length dress from a Vogue pattern and I was advised to make a practice one because I hadn't made it before and I want to wear the end result to some weddings this year. I am using a brown crepe back satin that has a nice shimmer on it for my practice with a plain brown as the lining, I have managed to complete the bodice with only one bit of help from the lovely Mum and Jeanie-G (my granny- who i'm finding is an encylcopedia of sewing!) and now I have got to sew the skirt to the bodice-eeekkkkk!Hoping it all matches but feeling quite chuffed I have got this far.
For my 'proper' dress I went to Fine Fabrics in Harrogate and the lady who works there was lovely. Really patient with me and I have picked a grey silk with a white and black pattern on it with a grey non-static lining. It is gorgeous and I am really excited about using it! The silk is Italian and just looks beautiful!> Hopefully I will get pictures on tomorrow because T is going to help me do it!
