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.

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!

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...
