Ouchie, fingers

[mandie_rw]

Store-bought-from-evil-Joann's-bias tape is tightly woven enough to make my fingers complain today when I sewed through it, for some reason. Guess 'cause I haven't sewed in over a week, so my fingertips softened back up. Usually I just stab myself, curse horrifically, and go on with life.

But anyway. This is an update to say that M's stays are Unofficially Done. (Unofficially, because I don't have anything to lace them with, still, so they can't be tried on yet.)

And I haz pictures. Really!



Without flash and with...either way, my camera is the epitome of Crap...someday I may remedy this. Someday. Not today. But, look! Shiny!


The lining is not, in fact, any shade of pink, despite what the photo may try to deceive you into believing. It's red cotton. Really. I promise.

lol That fabric looks familiar!

(I have the same stuff at home waiting to become a Venetian)

Haha, we have good taste in fabric (and access to a Joann Fabrics!). I saw that fabric and thought, Ooh, Shiny! Pretty, Must have!

(And my Venetian is made from the same stuff, just in the blue color instead of red! :D)

Oh pretty fabric! I want one!

[mandie-rw.livejournal.com]

Isn't the fabric lovely? (Trust me, it looks nicer in person than in pictures taken by the Camera of Crap, too.) I had it in The Stash, and M loves red, conveniently enough. :)

Very very purty! I hope they fit her wonderfully!

Thank you! I hope so too; if they don't fit, I think I'll just fall over and die. I put a lot of work into them! :)

*blush* Aww, thank you so much! :) I think they're probably the best pair I've made so far (which would, you know, make sense). I certainly was the most careful with them- so there's only one small part that's slightly effed up- and it's on the inside, and you can't see it in the pictures! :P
