sunburst and mina
November 17th, 2010, 12:34 pm I am glad I made the decision to redo the skirt front for the Sunburst dress 🙂 I now have the design transfered to paper so I can neaten it and transfer it properly. I can now machine sew the rays and hand sew the clouds from the front. The…
sunburst taking in
November 15th, 2010, 08:03 pm I did start to adjust the Sunburst skirt. But I am not happy at how the pencil is showing through. So I have enough left over to recut the skirt front panels and I can use bits of the current skirt fronts for the bodice. I’m not going to use…

progress, reinspiring
November 8th, 2008, 06:36 pm Inspiring afternoon spent sorting through the back room 🙂 I found a few old projects that I may just redo now that I have them all in one corner and can see how much work would be involved. Hannibal/Elissa costume. I found my old bodice and new velveteen (needs colour…
August 2nd, 2007, 01:33 pm Ummm… I have another cunning plan. I will probably be doing my Worth Gown this year. *hangs head* But I know now how quickly I can pearl so it shouldn’t be too bad. As a refresher: http://costumes.glittersweet.com/historical/sunburst.htm Direct to the actual dress: http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/haut/hob_C.I.49.3.25a,b.htm I actually have just over 6m of…
