And as usual, we'll be back at the polling location tonight to count the votes. Thank Goddess we don't have (yet...) voting machines (although those are against our constitution, some are used here and there... *angry face*), so all polling location need at least 4 people to open the enveloppes, read the names out loud and count the vote. This way, every citizen can come in and check that the voting goes according to the law.

The sad part is that they're always short for people to do the counting. And THAT makes me soooo angry. Because the excuse for briging in voting machines is this lack of volunteers. It takes only one hour, to one hour and a half, of your time. Like... twice a year. It's part of your role as a citizen, to control the regularity of the voting process. It's a way to defend our already shaken democracy. And people still can't seem to bother...

I have new pretties to show you all !

Don't you love the little girl's outfit in the last one ?

Now it's back to handsewing binding (and seeing the end of it) and scanning.

Behold ! Actual sewing content included !

But first, let's see what we got at the flee market this morning...
cSorry for the extremely bad pics and lighting, but I'm pretty sure I won't have the courage to take more pics tomorrow )

And then on to the progress report, and we have big news !!! All the binding is done on the 1920s bra ! Proof :


Since I'm too lazy to pull off my clothes to try the bra on and mark the slit, I'll work on the Goth Kitty's corset for tonight. Here's a shot of what it looks like presently :

Again, my digicam is being particularly crappy tonight.
The corset has three layers (red satin lining, white coutil, purple taffetas, three bones (one in place of the busk, and one on each side of the back opening, I figured the seams on the sides gave enough support). It will have some black lace applique on top of it, and probably handsewn eyelets, unless by some miracle I find more mini-grommets. It also has a clearly more defined shape than the last kitty's corset.
