Stay Power

After having cut these silly things so so long ago, I finally finished them on the weekend! I put 2 layers of boning in. I only had plastic boning and I find it better than the single layer set I have. They don't tend to warp to my body as much, a tad stronger too. Metal eyelets, will hold up more than my hand sewn set. I sewed the white layers by hand and went over them with the machine. I made the gussets smaller than last time too, a better fit all round. But you get that generally when you make something for the second time. You improve your skills.

This blue riding habit is the one I want to recreate, not a good view, but its a fair colour. I'm sure I can find something suitable.


This is the olive green stripe indian fabric I bought the other day, its being fashioned into a cros over gown with short puff sleeves. Looking good if I say so myself. A few things to do to it before it's finished. But I'm happy!
In other news, I'm moving out in april. Can't wait. A few things to get in order, but all should be well. I can afford it, I've gone through the budgets and I can survive and still go on my trips and what not. Can't wait! True independence.
