I'm in a cheating mood

I've actually gotten a lot done on my loli dress:

Project Registration Form
Project Title : A Blouse
Short Project Description: It's a puff sleeved blouse w/ eyelet lace
Projected Deadline: Aug 30
Pattern(s) Used: New Look 6732
Materials needed: White cotton and eyelet lace
Challenges or obstacles : The lace is being a pain. The sleeve cuff may also be too bulky to fit, so adding buttons may be an adventure. I have a plan though
Progress: 70% done. Needs other sleeve, hand stitching and buttons


In real life, the contrast between the whites is not as noticeable. I promise.

Project Completion Form
Project Title: Victorian Maiden Replica
Project Start Date: Can't remember :(
Planned Finish Date: Aug 30
Actual Finish Date: July 22
Did you make changes from original plan? Not really. It came out exactly how I hand envisioned it.
Did you discover something you want to share? I top stitched the trim in matching trim and it you can't see the stitching. Saved me loads of time. Braided trim is my new friend
How happy are you with the result? 100% - I love it!!



Project Completion Form

Project Title: Fluffy Petti
Project Start Date: Can't remember
Pattern(s) Used: Simplicty 3737 (Out of print :( )
Materials needed: Netting and cotton
Planned Finish Date: Aug 30
Actual Finish Date: July 15
Did you make changes from original plan? Yup - the pattern is all squares. I realized that the netting was wider than required, so with some math I wound up with the same fullness using half of the required yardage. I think this project cost me under $20, including ribbon.
Did you discover something you want to share? Oh ho ho .... The 1/4 in .50/spool ribbon will fit in the slot of my sewing machine foot, making a make-shift guide. This shaved off some hours.
How happy are you with the result? 90% - I think I would have liked it in chiffon or tulle better - but the netting was .50/yard



All together now:


Honestly, I had my doubts about putting a shirt under the dress, but I think it will look really cute.

Upcoming projects - bloomers, matching bag, decorated tiny hat (I looooooove tiny hats), and maybe a bolero (if I have time and can find pink corduroy)
