This looks like so much fun. I may book a couple of tickets anyway, although the hubby would rather boil his head in oil - I have a few friends who would really enjoy it!
Whilst I'm on the subject of the forties - I'm getting there with swing dress #2. Its doing my head in a bit. I probably should have stayed away from the piping - I've already sew it - dismantled it - sew in - added extra bits - and I'm still not happy. This is what its looking like as of this morning. Sans sleeves and not sewn up at the sides yet. I also think I may pinch the neckline to make it sweetheart. I think the piping makes it look more 50's though - and I don't really like it on the yolk bit - I think it looks a bit cowgirl...
I was hoping to wear it to the Vintage tea party on Sunday, but I'm not sure thats going to happen and I may revert to #1!
I have so many projects and so little time. My list is currently:
- Swing Dress #2
- Finish puppytooth handbag brooch as its currently not fixed to the bag I made.
- Billowing 70's dress reconstruction
- More comfy trousers for Noah + some shorts
- Baby Shoes for Joeys teacher
- Pouch for my nexus in the Cath Kidston oilcloth - possibly or just using some cotton and the PUL I have somewhere.
- Shirtdress
- 50's dress
- Graceful Kelly Bag
