So this is basically my only plan for the weekend—sewing, sewing, and more sewing.
Here's what I've done so far:
- Base dress (done)
- Bloomers (done)
- Ribbon tie with insignia (done)
- Wig (purchased)
- Shoes (purchased)
Still to do:
- Assemble apron with gold trim (augh)
- Sleeves (more gold trim augh)
- Collar/Dickie (had hoped to start with a thrift store shirt but didn't find a suitable one)
- Gold trim on shoes (augh)
- Bowtie (do I have one somewhere?)
- Bunny tail (purchase)
- Style wig
What am I forgetting...
Anyway this gold fabric is awful. Slippery, stretchy, even when I stabilize it with fusible interfacing it won't stay fused. I tried using a hotter iron, up to the point of starting to get a scorched plastic smell, but even though it seems attached, it comes loose after a few minutes if you try to cut or sew. Grr. I'm going to experiment on a scrap with spray starch, but I see a lot of basting in my future.
Looks nice though!
