Finally some progress

Well I bought out two stores for this Cornflower blue fabric. I'm still about 4 yards short which I ordered online. I have everything cut again except for the chiffon section of the bodice. I have enough chiffon to complete three dresses. By the time I receive the remainder of the fabric I should have three of the six completed. I worked out all the bugs today in the bodice and it looks remarkable to me! I even gave it a hug!
Here is is without the trim and beside it it is attached to the lining with the boning. For the ruffle I cut a 5.5" strip 28" long (a bit too long) sewed it in half then stitch right down the middle.
 Maybe tomorrow it will be attached to a skirt!

Upcoming project for February

I have something different to do in February. I'm pretty excited to do a new design. These pictures are for inspiration. The main thing I need to capture is the ruched bodice and she wants some bling. The back will be a full back and I'm thinking fabric covered buttons instead of a zipper.   I ordered the below bling for the gown. 

Pattern Giveaway! Vogue 1094

As a pattern hoarder I sometimes forget what patterns I have and don't. Vogue was on sale and I didn't remember having this pattern so I purchased it. When I went to put it away whoops a double! So for my followers and others that stumble upon this giveaway here is your chance to get a way cute pattern for FREE. It is a size 6-12. Just leave a comment below with your contact information and I will use a random number generator on September 30th. International and US are welcomed to participate.

This Etsy shop is making me so mad

I don't know why  Viola Vintage   keeps listing the same items! She did it first with my Marilyn Monroe dress now the Keira Knightly wedding dress. She has fabulous stuff so why take from someone else? This is the reason why I can't blog or go on pattern reviews and share how I create things. If I do then this shop uses the information and sells the same items. I've even been watermarking my photos because of it! I guess I missed a couple. Those are easy to google though.
