sabine | a pretty good day (Reply)

I started today with a pile of fabric and a list of measurements. I now have a bodice that lacks only the grommets to finish it off. I even got the owner over for a quick fitting this afternoon to make sure that the shoulder straps would be neither too long nor too short. I think I have enough lacing lurking in the corners of my sewing room for the front and straps.

I also took pictures of the whole thing. When the grommets are in place and the entire outfit is being worn, I'll post them. My goal is to have a reference for how You, Too, Can Have A Ren Faire Outfit.

I also got most of a quilt top put together and the extra fabric cut off my new circle skirt. I have two more rows to sew onto the quilt and then I get to have the adventure of how to sew all the layers together. I also have to hem the skirt so that I can wear it to faire this weekend.

Today I bonded with my sewing machine. It felt pretty good. I have several other projects lined up, but the ones that I needed to get done by the upcoming weekend are all to the point where I'm not stressed out about them. This is a very good thing.

EDIT: I just finished the quilt top. It's gorgeous and I may be addicted to yet another hobby. Send help.
