mlsdesignsAs predicted my house work took all morning :) But I did get a lot done, and I had the time and the inclination to bake as well, I made vanilla-toffee cupcakes with dulce de leche filling and butterscotch frosting. They are sooooo yummy! I don't think I can bear to share them at dancing tonight!!
After lunch I sat down to work on my rouleaux. They're all put together and pinned to the bodice. I don't know why I bothered to pin them before I put it on, since we had to move all of them once I was wearing it! Anyway, they're all positioned ready to sew in place tomorrow on my breaks. Do you want to see?!
I'm just holding a strip of waste fabric round my waist to cover up all the edges and mimic the waistband.
The electric light does strange things to the colour! It's not at all lime really! So far I've not managed to get a good picture of the colour, maybe eventually I'll manage to do a fitting in daylight!!!
I was planning to get the sleeves mocked up, or sew the skirt together, but I sat down and now it's an hour and a half later and it's nearly time to go to dancing :)
