llyrafantasyfaeI haven't posted in awhile but I have been busy. Just doesn't seem like I have alot to show for it :( I guess that is what you get when the majority of it is hand sewed. The apron is getting really close to done. I am ordering black cotton velvet today for the bottom hem, which will also be used in the Autumn dress. I need to finish attaching the top straps to the sides. Still playing around with how I want that to look. Avien was nice and gave me a suggestion for how to finish up the outer edges. Single fold bias tape.... Still not sure why I can't think up these things by myself. Thank goodness for patient sewing friends.
I thought I would have to order that and wait for it since I have never used it before. Lets just say its a good thing I went through my stash first. A couple years back a Jo anns I lived near had gone out of business and I stocked up on all sorts of random goodness. I guess I had picked up one package of black single fold bais tape at that time. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! So that has been attached and I just need to take an iron after things. So to finish up the arpon I need to attach two big pockets and put the embroideried gears (still need to do one more of those) on them, iron everything down topstitching or hand sewing as needed, attach the top straps to the sides, sew on a bottom hem, and then attach all the hooks, gears, claps, and steampunkiness goodies. Not to much right?
I have also been slowly, say one or two motifies a day taking off the stablizer backing on the embriodery Avien did for me. I have the forepart all done and might cut that out soon. I am very excited about it all and wish I didn't have school and I wasn't trying to lose weight by April so I could just sew.
I have pictures of everything so if your interested make sure to check my website..... probably tomorrow. I will have them up in the updates to the steampunk page.
