First of all!!!! Happy Birthday to my baby! Happy Birthday, Jen! Love you!
Yesterday, the velvet for my next project was delivered!
And I planned to hit Joann's Fabrics for lining fabric....But guess what! I checked my stash first and Lo and Behold! I had 7 yds of lining and just the right color! But, I do need to sit on it (not literally) before starting anything drastic, like cutting into fabric. I do need to make a mock up of the skirt. It will be from one of my new Truly Victorian patterns. But I may have to alter it a bit, taking out some of the fullness on the sides.
And meanwhile I am still beading. I am at least half way or more. I dyed more lace than I know I need because I knew I would never be able to match the color exactly again....I just guess-temated the first time with 2 colors. I will know how much I need beaded when get to the point of putting the lace insert on the skirt.
Remember, this is the inspiration for this project!

| This is more what the velvet looks like except when the light hits it! So it is sort of more like something in the middle. |

| Beaded vs Unbeaded |
Thanks for the b-day wish.
ReplyDeleteYou are super fast - can't believe you are already more than half done with that beading.
