Nearly done, with a spanner in the works

I've nearly finished the Indian print, I would have been more nearly finished but I'm helping my best friend out, her chef has left her in the lurch, so I'm covering making sandwiches in her pub for today and the next few days, either till she gets a new chef, or till I have to go back to work.
I have managed to make the peplum though, it's all pined on, and I had a fitting so it's ready to be sewn tomorrow. The centre fronts are right so I can do the hooks and eyes, and I made the sash, except I made it from 3 panels of silk, when I think I only needed 2, so I have to undo a seam and finish the ends - all those extra feet of hand sewn hem down the drain :'(
I was hoping to be able to post some photos for you, but it's being so slow, and it's way past my bed time, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait till tomorrow now :(
Even though I'm only helping Gemma at lunch time I have to go into school in the morning to borrow soe bits and bobs for my Mother, and she will drop me at Gemma's after, so it's lucky I have lots of sewing to do! Hopefully once I get back at about 3 I will be able to start my Gaule.

Indian print photos

Before I have to go off to the pub, here are some photos of my very nearly finished Indian print gown. Follow me this way for ( the photos )

Got to get the bus in half an hour, but I have my sewing ready, and hopefully no one will come in wanting to eat, so I can sew till it's time to come home!!!

New dress :D

Even though I did do a little 'work' at the pub today, I had time to get all my sewing done (except for the hooks and eyes, I've decided not to bother, and will pin it shut instead I think) so as soon as I got home I got to work on the Gaule :D
Well, I say 'got to work', what actually happened was a couple of hours spent trying to decide how to make this wretched thing!! I got there in the end though, and I think I'm going to try to write up what I do, in case any one else wants to skip some of the head scratching :p Other peoples diaries were almost all I had to go on!
I decided to do the back as normal, with the skirt pleated to a round waist. The front will have a fitted lining that will pin shut, and a full length panel of the silk, with a drawstring in the neck and (probably) one in the waist too. I added in an extra seam to the front, about where the side seam is on modern clothes, so that I don't have a huge flat area at the side in the skirt.
I've used the blue sash I just made for the print outfit as a temporary tie, I was planning to make a black sash for the Gaule, but I think the blue looks good! I really like the colours together, the black would be very elegant I think, but I think the blue is ... pretty :D

Now it's time for bed! Hopefully I'll get lots done tomorrow, but I need to get some more thread at some point!
