Saturday

Various random bits and pieces today! First I finished the jellyfish dress... apart from the outer dome (not sure what the technical term is!), which might be made from an umbrella, or maybe a hat, haven't quite decided yet! Also I've covered a cycle helmet in reflective scales, as part of the bodice I made a while ago... I will be interested to see how that comes out in photos, it may or may not work! And I've made some trial templates for skirt edging/trim, this is a new project...

Tuesday evening

I'm now working full time at the dukes theatre in Lancaster, so have to grab an hour or two wherever possible to do my own sewing. Apologies that there will be less on here for the next couple of months. I shall try and update once or twice a week though!
This picture shows how I've started to attach the ruffles, I've arranged them loosely in a colour spectrum, which I think works nicely! There shall be more yellow in the centre.

Sunday

Yesterday I added a lace up fastening to the jelly fish dress, and added further lace to the ruffle collection. The next stage is to join them together!

Friday ruffles

All the ruffles are bound along the edges, and I've started to add lace bits too!

Thursday

There's now a pink layer under the green skirt, though it's tricky to see it in the picture. Will be good for twirling around in though! Have further decorated the jellyfish dress also, it's almost ready for the trailing tendrils to be sewn on. I've also done some secret bridesmaid sewing today!

Tuesday

I've done more jellyfish dress detail, plus I've removed the outer net layer of this green dress (bought, not made by me), and am reconstructing it in a more interesting way...
