ELSA BLOGGING, LAST POST OF THE DAY

ELSA BLOGGING, LAST POST OF THE DAY

by admin, December 22, 2014

The book is Elements of Modern Dressmaking. It’s on Gutenburg and I am pretty sure I posted the huge section on bodice linings on my blog (search for sateen 🙂 )

Mina and the beaded chiffon make an appearance. Best viewed in 720 or 1080 resolution to actually see anything I’m rabbiting on about.

 

If you spot the fluffy balls of yarn and guessed Pink Diamonds was on the re-do list you’d be right 🙂 I need to treat the yarn in a way to make it a bit more able to stand out than it is currently, I got to see how heavy the original is. No way I’m sewing anything as heavy if not heavier!

BOOM! THAT’S CURVY!

Even more so than Elsa- same pattern but I’m avoiding the desire to tone it back. And behind them both is the basis of a rather shapeless elf dress.
Mina is two layers of sateen so far and still pinned at key points. I’ll try and pinch a little more under the bust though it does work better on me (plus padding).

Slightly general untagged post as I am fighting what I know as physical signs of depression. Right now I’m having some relief from the therapy but have no appetite and just want to sleep. Two issues related to the therapy but I also found myself starting to delete myself from online again and that is not part of the sick reaction.

This tends to be a time of year when all sorts of stresses fall, and this year has just been a doozy.
