Ghetto-style embroidered stomacher

[green_martha]

What the heck are you doing, girl ? After one of the last caaque fitting it occurred to me the garment would look a lot less potato-sack-like if worn open over a stomacher. So what do I do, on a ten days' notice and with a busy schedule of visiting parents and friends and medical appointments ? Start an embroidered stomacher, of course. But since I'm in a bit of a cinch time-wise and I don't have gilded_garb's embroidery mojo, I took some errr... shortcuts.

This is some yarn (a cotton-something mix, I think), couched over a piece of silk from my wedding dress. And I have only done about one half of the desing, eek ! Though I'm getting faster at this, I need to get more efficient, I still have a pair of shoes to make and some knick-knack to finish on the casaque itself !
