Funeral Padme and Ewok Leia updates

I almost finished the dress of the Padme water gown this weekend. I need to get it fitted a little better (it’s too baggy and big), and get it hemmed, and then onto dying and all that fun stuff, but I’m pretty pleased with it thus far.

The fabric I bought for it, I originally had planned to use the wrong side, the matte side. It’s the side I first noticed when I saw it in the fabric store, and thought it would be great, then realised I was looking at the wrong side. After I finished the front section and pinned it to the dressform, I decided I liked the right, shiny side best. So that’s what I went with.

I’m going to be house/Kevin-sitting starting tomorrow, I think I’ll take Ewok Leia with me and do the stitching up the front.
I’m really pleased with how swimmingly things have been going lately, despite the idiot sewing machine, hope it continues that way.
