i finally have pics of what i've been doing the last god knows how long! although, the main problem has been work. we've got the first GCSE play coming up on monday, and rehearsals have been a bit manic, and my boss keeps wanting me there, when i'd be better off getting the last few props and costume bits. i have to be in again tomorrow, from 4:30 till 8:30, and all sunday afternoon. bleh!

anyway here are the bears i made to sell at the spring fairs



although i don't think i'll be able to sell the big cinnamon coloured one, he looks so mournful everytime i mention it! and i finally took pics of the chemise, i'm really pleased with the front


especially the tucks and lace at the neckline


but the back went a bit wrong


i don't know how i managed to measure that my waist is so far down! i followed the instructions from elizabethstewartclarkandcompany for the free chemise pattern, and did the steps to remove the fullness across the back, but it still works, so never mind!
i'm in the middle of making the corset now, it's been a bit of a pain though, the first toile had bust gussets the size of dawn french's chest, and i'm only a C cup!
it's gonna be white duchesse satin with pink flossing, pink bone channels and pink ribbon insertion in the lace. can't wait to get it done!
i've still had no response from the spring manufacturers, so might try emailing them again, i really need to get started on the cage.

Oh, your animals are just wonderful! You *really* have a talent for them!

The chemise looks great, too (despite the waist issue)!

thank you! it's nice to hear other people's coments, because you know your family are gonna say nice things about what you do! i've got to try and rig up some kind of stand for Meg (my dress form) cos at the moment she's leaning against the wardrobe, and it looks like my tummy is even bigger than it really is!
