not as good as I hoped

well I hit a snag with the corset. I got it ready for binding but wanted to try it on first for fit...but to do that i need to put in the grommets. and the ons i bought at lowes are horrible. They won't hammer flat and they're huge...so those are being returned and I ordered a new pack of smaller ones that I already have the tools for for $2 from Amazon. The only annoying part is now I have to wait for them to arrive. SO I'm refocusing. I cut out the bedgown I need for washington's crossing on Saturday, and then I'm going to switch gears and work on the skirt for my fancy dress. There is math involved and i'm oddly enjoying it.



Ta Daaaaa! I used some of my birthday money to buy a pair of white dance boots I intend to dye. I already have orange silk and [personal profile] miss_philomena is hooking me up with some grey at Washington's Crossing.

I was supposed to be sewing my bedgown right now but I spilled boiling tea on my hand and man it HURTS...

Three dresses and a corset in four weeks is totally doable right O.O

It's going to be a great fancy dress. Good luck.
