stop the presses

It's only 5pm the day before and I have about 12" of little rolled hem to do and THAT'S IT!...woah.

I bagged finishing the covered sombrero hat. I want to do it right, and it's going to be hot as satan's posterior tomorrow so wearing a velvet covered hat seems...hot. and not in the good way. So I'm going to pile my hair up and put in a sash and call it a day. I'm planning to use the marvelous bump-its again to give me nice high but still be cool and airy. I've been pondering if I can use my victorian fall for the long curls somehow, I'm worried it's TOO big though. and while my hair WOULD do those big sausage curls they'll frizz out in the hot weather really quickly. still not sure if I want to sleep in curlers so I end up with orderly curls or just go with my natural curls which will be far less orderly but certainly frizzed. 

I also made a quick reticule. From this very nice tutorial. It's a smidge less than perfect as my drafting was a tad off and I didn't want to mess with fixing it. But all in all I'm pretty happy with it.

Oooh, look at you making accessories too! That's a cute bag.

Can't wait to see your pictures from the event. Have fun and try not to melt!

Thanks! at least it's in the later part of the afternoon past the peak of the heat...or so I keep telling myself.

Thanks! It's just cotton maxi piping as I was far too lazy to make my own :-p

Have a great time! I am consoling myself by going to my favorite fabric store.
