Finally playing in the Teens!
Mar. 16th, 2012 10:45 pmMy sack back only needs trimming and a stomacher now, so I've started working on Titanic sewing! I'm going to finish all the endless hemming and adding lace to strips of trim during breaks at work and while watching TV, and I don't have the energy to face making my undies, so I'm putting off the evil hour by making Mummy's dress. Also, this way I get to have a practice run! I can make all the first time mistakes on mummy's dress ;)
So far, I've pulled out all the fabrics - black net with white embroidery - flowers all over and a deep border; black striped sheer; black crepe and black velvet. I might put some more white in there some where, if I find something I like, maybe some kind of pearl trim?
We did the first fitting of the bodice tonight. It's based on her 1860s bodice block, and I think I'm going to have to bone the seams and darts, she's not wearing it with a corset, and because of her tummy it doesn't lie right. Hopefully it'll work though, and at least she'll be comfy during dinner without the full compliment of underwear!
Oh, I think I forgot to say what the Teens sewing is for! Our dance group have decided to hold a 'Welcome Home Maggie Brown' dinner party during the Easter holidays, I couldn't bear to be left out of the Titanic sewing party this year! I'm going to be taking mine to CosCol too, so hopefully it works out the way I imagine it in my head :)
