Making Progress...

Post by jadewik » Thu Sep 06, 2007 1:17 am

I finished one piece to my costume the other evening-- behold, a vest!

Okay, so technically I finished sewing two pieces... but the other piece needs some other things added before it's post-able.

Our theme is "Persia" this year. I'm sewing this pattern: Image Here for the costume on the left in the photo.

I'm pondering going to this India-n store down here and looking for coin belts or bracelets I can modify or flat out use so I jingle when I walk... I've yet to drive the 5 miles over there to even LOOK. Ugh. It'll probably be 2-weeks before I make it over there.

... I was really getting into Halloween and then today my husband was being evil-- his job changed hours and he has to work Halloween night (unless he's a dear and he gets the evening off). So I might be doing Halloween alone this year... :? *le sigh*

Jadewik, that's quite the undertaking. Very nice work.

I finished sewing the skirt last week. I have the shirt mostly done... just have to put in elastic. I still have to put grommits in the waist cinch' (the orange thing). I also went to this import store and found a silk scarf, coin ankle bracelet, toe ring, and coin scarf... and we found an oil lamp at World Market... sadly, the genie cost extra and was a little out of my budget. Oh, well!
