green_marthaThere has been some sewing, indeed - inspite of the heat, the migraine, and the general tiredness, we even found some time to clean the apartment, I'm so proud of us ^^.
So, where to start ?
Yesterday, we wanted to go to a nearby lake, met a nice hour of rain, headed back home, and consoled ourselves by finding new socks for the HG and sewing supplies for me. I was a very good girl and didn't buy more than what I needed : heavy and medium-weight ugly and cheap cotton for my next mock-ups. I refrained from buying the 50% off indienne prints -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
heileen those prints are now on sale, and they'll be discontinuing them at Mondial Tissus. Some are now under 4 euros/meter. I'll post pics tomorrow after work.
I also found my pink ribbon - the shade doesn't exactly match the neckline ribbon nor the hem one, but who's going to notice anyway, if they're not close to each other ? - and a separable zipper.
The direct consequence being that there's a good chance you'll see pictures of my combinations by tomorrow night. The last buttonhole has been sewed while the HG lost several games of mah-jong to Buzz and another friend.
I haven't felt the motivation to pick up the basement corset again (basement corset because the pattern is taken from a corset found in someone's basement), so I started on the new chemise for Denise. I've got the yoke cut out, and a good hald of the pin tucks sewn in.
And I'm going to add a flounce at the bottom of her drawers, too. The fabric strip is all hemmed and just needs to be pleated and attached to the lace.
And I've found some remnants of the corset fabric I'm using to 'tie' the whole outfit together, yay !
