afterward in steelhead to the best of my knowledge a partnership in sl of 5 years is not very common but it has been a pleasure and a joy it feels like yesterday that we said our vows thank you for walking this path with me my dearest and i look forward to seeing where the journey takes us posted by christine mcallister pearse at 10 32 p m 1 comments labels anniversary edward wednesday february 29 2012 more sewing the sewing continues on the skirt i had sewn the back flounce pieces together and then was called away so last night was the night to really get at it the skirt is basically together now just have to add the placket waistband hem and trim it and it is done the only aggravating point up to now has been the darts due to my figure being rather hourglass in nature when you put a corset on it it amplifies that quality i cut the skirt to fit my hips bane of my existence and so had to make the darts larger to make up for the difference a couple days later the skirt is in it s final stages i pinned and pressed the waistband and hem last night but due to life nothing was accomplished on it tonight i had to let out two of the darts as i was supposed to put a couple of box pleats near the centre back and they would have been very small indeed if i hadn t done so i have to admit it looks quite nice hanging there so i think the end result will be pleasing to the eye i ve debated on the trims for awhile i had purchased some black organza pleated trims some time ago as they were on a smoking hot sale gotta love those one consists of two strands of pleated fabric each about an inch or so wide weaving back and forth in a figure 8 pattern the other has a sheer black fabric with a satin band over it finely pleated and it zig zags in a soft back and forth design at first i was leaning toward the zig zags but now i m thinking the figure 8 s as i can then put a black bead and sequin at the centre point of each 8 i have ordered some beaded appliques for the bodice and front of the skirt near the hem i should have also ordered two for the back of the bodice totally forgot about that if i can t find anything in the city this weekend i ll order some online and hope they get here in time so that s the update for now with any luck i can start hemming tomorrow evening and finish the skirt by the weekend then it s time to cut out the mock up of the bodice and proceed with that posted by christine mcallister pearse at 9 53 p m 0 comments labels diary of a dress progress skirt tuesday february 21 2012 the sewing begins i decided i d best get busy and get started on the skirt which i cut out the other night the cutting out process was a trifle nerve wracking i was very nervous to cut into the fabric but after spending several moments deciding if the fabric had a direction or nap to it i got the job done so tonight was sewing night i sat down at my machine after moving mending and a few other projects that are waiting to be worked upon also the cat oreo had somehow snuck into my sewing room several times and used my worktable laden with work projects as a wonderful place to nap the cat and i will be having a chat later on after i finish de hairing a lot of fabric etc i started to work after finding some thread in my stash normally i purchase plenty of thread at the time i buy the fabric but this time i did not thinking i had oodles in my thread stash not so i had a spool and a bit which curtailed my flat lining a bit i managed to do the two front flounces and one of the back before deciding i better stop for the night at this point the fabric has been a dream to work with knock on wood the satin has a lovely weight to it and the broadcloth has been behaving itself well too on the flounces there are long curved edges causing me to take it easy to keep it all from stretching i think i m off to a good start and am looking forward to tackling a little more after picking up some more thread posted by christine mcallister pearse
