green_marthaDarn, I'm stuck !
The Kitty corset is all bound now, but it needs extra-small grommets, which I know exist, but I happen to have lost every single grommet I once had in my home. So a trip to the notion dealer I must make. I will NOT make handbound eyelets for this one, unless I really have no other option.
The same grommet problem applies if I want to work on the pirate shirt. Well, actually I could redraft the neck and collar area, but that would be as far as I can get without grommets.
The pillow flower is mocked up, and it looks quite spiffy, methinks. I've only made a minor alteration to the top, making the center front part end in a point at the "waist", but I don't feel I need to resew the mockup after that. Now the next steps would be to figure out the layout on the fabric, mark the pieces, and start beading, right. Except I must do some beading training before, and figure out how exactly I'm going to attach the beads to the fabric. Tambour embroidery ? Must buy a hook. Normal embroidery ? *ponders*
And starting on my wedding dress ? I couldn't find a place to photocopy the pattern, it's too big, so I have to trace it on fabric, except I have no clue where to find enough fabric for that in my house.
So the first thing I must do is tidy up the mess I live in, vacuum, do a thourough cleaning, take care of everything that has been put on hold lately.
- take care of the notions paket I have to send back to Germany (waiting for the address to send it to)
-empty suitcase
-put random bits of fabric in storage or on the "current project" shelf
- tidy up desk
-dust
-vacuum
-wash floors
-wash windows
-clean bathroom
-take care of laundry
- copy wedding dress pattern
- go to notions dealer to buy tambour hook, tambour embroidery book and grommets
- go to post office and send all the papers for the glasses
- make appointment with financial advisor
- do grocery shopping
We'll see how far I get...
