Need a kick in the sewing rear.

[Dirtfarmer]

I would love to give you a kick... but I've been trying to just design two myself for the last 3 months and I can't seem to get them from my minds eye onto paper. 

If you are out to hire a little later, I may have a small project or two... I just don't know yet.

Now if you make them in a size 10, I am going to drool all over the computer.  If I can't afford them, that will be heartless!   lol

Kate, I am so sorry to hear about the moth holes and the funeral.  Neither one are easy to deal with or get through.  Sewing prayers to you!

Hi Dirtfarmer, lay it on me when you know.  I will see what we can do. 

What are you head projects.  Oooohhh, love to hear others ideas as they are rattling about in the head.  You can ren-mail or i-m me.

I don't know the sizes of things yet.  But it looks like the two bodices are 6 to 8's, and the rose gown maybe 8 to a 12.  Untill I get lining and boning into things, I don't like to say.  Each item are basic pieces.  With the idea the owner will be able to decorate them as they like.   What do you think?

Dug the fabric out of the stash last night (and put the crimbo dec's away!), am ordering lining, pocketing, hair canvas, the tailoring book I want, and a male 'dress' form today.  Also drafting pattern...  How I wish this was a nice happy garb project!

Your basic bodices sound great.  For total non-sewists will you offer an embellishment service?  Some nice braid easily added post production could be good...

[Syrilla]

Yes, I might do that.  Thank you

Putting down the rose gown.. GRRR  Hate it when inspiration leaves you with a lump of cut out fabric.

Rose bodice is being put together, skirt is being repleated.
