fabric that came from mars
Aug. 17th, 2008 07:20 pmMaking a broderie anglaise version of the sundress as an alternate Conina outfit for Discworld. (probably evening wear). Going at least twice as fast due to knowing exactly how it's put together this time, aside from having to unpin the back skirt seam twice. Bloody pleating.) Because this is a white dress, having to put a lining of the skirt part on. Which involves tacking them together. MUTTER.
Also? Broderie Anglaise is a schizophrenic fabric. It keeps confusing my sewing machine - goes from paper thin cotton to heavily embroidered every centimetre or so.
Spent saturday buying bits in town and then playing on t'internet. Want to make something with the chinese brocade they have. WANT. But have learnt my lesson that we do not buy fabric unless it's for a specific purpose - see bales of fabric in upstairs wardrobe that I really have to work through if at all possible.
Most of the way through my Edmund post WWII fic, aside from the bit in ... probably Korea where he meets up with Peter's SAS regiment. that's only a couple of lines of dialogue so far, and requires a fight scene, some more dialogue, and other stuff. Trying to decide whether to split the fic into two between Edmund alone and Edmund + Peter, since they're really different in tone.
