Like the bird on the branch...
May. 25th, 2008 05:11 pmWe're still waiting for the green light from the bank for the house. We were told that everything was okay, but we're still waiting for the written confirmation to call our attorney for a closing date. *insert heavy sigh here*
It's frustrating to see that nothing moves and that, although we call them once or twice a day, they're still unable to get their bottoms in motion. Of course, everything is frozen until we get the papers, we can't even start packing beause we have no idea WHEN we'll move. *grinds teeth*
Anyway, back to your regular sewing content !
I've been beading a little bit, and working on the Kitty most of the time. The bodice is assembled. I must figure out how to close it, and add some schnickschnack and trim, but it's mostly done.
This is me being creative with the sleeves trim. First I added a band of brocade to the cuff, then folded said band back.
Then I made a slit.
After that I pleated the fabric on both sides of the slit, and handstitched it into place. I want to add a ribbon bow at the point of the slit.
I'm moving on to the skirts right now (underskirt is assembled), and will figure out the closures and last trimming details after that.
It may seem that I didn't sew much lately, which is right. The reason behind, apart form the stressing-over-the-house thing, is that we've been working a lot on our save-the-date cards, and those have made significant progress. :)
