llyrafantasyfaeIts been a little while again. Mostly because of how busy work has been keeping me. A little because I didn't want to post another "I am angry/sad with the world post."
Sum up is I won't be going to WIlliamsburg this year. :( When I started searching for flights I discovered I would pretty much lose a whole day going there due to flight time and losing a few hours with the time difference. I wasn't able to extend my vacation a day earlier or later so that put me on the fence. Airfare and hotel costs were kind of high for such a short trip. Then work pushed back the day we will switch shifts. So I would have to work my shift and catch a slightly later flight, (which would mean the WHOLE day is shot) with no sleep in between. Plus if the shift change was earlier like it had been planned I would use to days again. Events aren't as fun when your body thinks its time to go to bed.
I was already having some anxiety about going somewhere I have never been, across country by myself. Now add to it no sleep.... I decided the stress would outweigh the fun. At first I was SUPER grumbly about it. But now I feel a bit better. I have more money and time to work on stuff for Costume College. :)
WHICH is LESS then 3 months away now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which wouldn't be to bad if we didn't have a sudden influx of inmates! What is the Warden thinking?!?!?! Doesn't she know I have sewing to do? I can't be working all sorts of overtime!
Like last year I am working from the skin out. I been plugging away at a 18c chemise/shift this weekend between naps and errands. I hope to have it finished before tomorrow morning. It will just depend on how much sleep my body thinks it needs between now and then. After that I will start on my corset.
And so this post has some pictures in it I will include a commission I finished up at the end of April. I am really proud of it.
The customer was doing a burlesque type photo shot and wanted a little 'bustle' to cover her butt and hips. It has white satin with black lace over it, just like her corset. I also added piping I made out of a red/black shot silk, for a pop of color and to help it cordinate with her shoes that were red with a black lace overlay. I added the trim on by hand so you wouldn't have any stitches going through the lace. Once I found my groove that part actually went pretty fast.
