I didn’t get a ton done this weekend. I was pretty lazy.
I missed around with Marie Antoinette, getting her cleaned up for Dragoncon. I’m wanting to walk in the parade in her this year, so I played around with ways to bustle it. This is what I ended up with:
I sewed the ribbons on last night for that, so that part is all set. I’m shopping for a new hairpiece so I can use my own hair with it, and I’m going to make a new hat, too. Whoo.
And I wrestled with Anne some more.
I got the outer sleeves rolled up the way I wanted and sewn into place, and got the trim/jewel sewn on.
My appliques still haven’t shown up for the neckline, so I culled what I could off of Belle (there were 5 hidden around the skirt that really weren’t all that visible, so I could sacrifice them) and went ahead and stitched that on in the front. If my other ones show up, they are very similar, and they can go along the top of the shoulders and the back. I still have a lot of beading and jewels and stuff to sewn on top of it. I’ve got to shop for some more jewel looking stuff. Should have looked at Michael’s went I went yesterday.
But anyway I also fray-checked the skirt, finished the edge of the undersleeves, got the zipper in, and made the back piece for covering up the lace-up on the back.
I’ve got to put it on tonight and mark where to attach the undersleeves so they’re the right length, and get the back panel marked, too.
Blech I’m so ready to move onto another project, but I don’t have room for it with Anne taking up so much space right now LOL
