Hooray!

The rouleaux are all sewn on! Now I just have to sew the piped lozenges over the joins and I'll be very happy to wear it as is :)

I mocked up the bodice for my riding habit skirt over my lunch break. I decided to make it into something more fancy than just glorified suspenders (like the Patterns of Fashion one) so that I can wear it as a jumper dress! Two outfits for the price of one! And of course I'll have a braided wool spencer as well :) I'll link to my inspiration when I'm on an actual computer!

Covering the joins is so clever! That way you don't need to make super long and awkward piping, right? Wow. Definitely a lightbulb moment for me. It's looking really pretty! Your jumper/riding habit idea is also super smart.

Yep :) I couldn't imagine trying to make such long rouleaux! turning and stuffing tubes with seams would be a nightmare!
