Off today. Sewed!
Nov. 30th, 2012 11:37 pmAlso got a Fun Thing in the mail, so pictures of that first.
( Trim! )
( And the sewing )
Never seen anything like it in period (not that I'm any kind of 1920s scholar...), but I don't care; it seems kind of 20s-ish. And it's shiny. Shiny is all-important. And it won't be as scandalous as it seems; the beads will weigh it down, and of course I'll make a slip. Some real 20s dresses I've seen are definitely more scandalous than that!
Speaking of beads, I realized I didn't have any gold beads in the Stash, so out I went to the local Joann's, which apparently has the crappiest bead selection ever! No gold rocaille beads of any size. Lame. Okay, so maybe I'll support my local bead shop. Or maybe not; they only sell their beads in these teesny-weensy tubes that go for $3 apiece. Which would be fine if I were beading, like, a bookmark. Asked if they sold in larger quantities? Nope. What do you need them for? I'm making a 1920s dress. Oh...that's ambitious. But sometimes we have sales where things go 10% off!
Thanks. Buy online! There goes my instant gratification.
And the dance shoes I ordered were sold out so I had to hunt down new ones on a different site this afternoon. And where the hell are my AD shoes? At least I've got my new Kinks albums... *grin*
