rainbow trout: bows
Aug. 4th, 2016 11:53 pmIdiot shoulder bows, to be exact. I couldn't decide between roses and bows for the longest time - until today, when I realized how much faster bows would be, and that I was incapable of quickly making fabric roses that didn't suck. Bows it is! Silk taffeta I can tear and don't have to hem? Yes please!
I backed the pink bow with the same lace I used on the skirt, mainly so that lace didn't seem so out of place. This ties it in a lot better. (Ties it in, ha ha ha.)
The sash is the same pink taffeta, which isn't really exactly pink. Sort of coral, sort of rose, depending on the light. I made the sash of the same taffeta...only half-finished as of now, regrettably. I woke up with the definite beginnings of a head cold, and so slept very late and sewed very slowly. But the important bit of the sash is sewn on, the part that goes around the waist! I'm making the bow separately, so that can go on last. Or not at all, if I don't feel up to it.
