Aug. 3rd, 2017 11:02 pmI'm a little impressed by the people who are already talking about or doing the sewing after CoCo. My travel buddies have started a FB group for us to keep each other accountable and motivated. A has a (really gorgeous) gown picked out, M has her beaded gown (but she was going to make it for this year and didn't, so she has the stuff and just needs to get started) and I... found some pictures from Marie Antoinette that match the tiny tricorn hat blank I bought lol.
I really needed a nap today, apparently, and was asleep for an hour and a half when I got home D: I want to start sewing again, because looking back on the weeks leading up to CoCo, I was really stressed but I was also really happy because I was creating every day. I want to keep that feeling. But again, I hardly know where to start. I don't have some of the materials I want for x project, and I need to start that before I can start the main part, and do I build it over this undergarment or that one? Bleh.
But I do know what I want to do with the white petticoat. It's 2 panels about 50" wide each, and the extra length of fabric I got is 1m, so easy enough to rip into 4 pieces, pink and dag, and then attach. I should probably make a new gown for the ball too. I bought some striped silk in LA that I got specifically for it (though it would also make a gorgeous Victorian piece, but I didn't plan for that and would need more, either striped or contrast...). Hmm I think I will plan that. I'm not ready to tackle the red yet, it needs to be PERFECT :D
Tomorrow is D&D night though, so that means knitting. I'm nearly done the fox hood (FINALLY, 15" of stockinette is boooooring!) and then I can start something else, probably some mitts. Or maybe I'll start the mitts anyway. It's creating of a different kind :)
