Hey
Everyone! So, how was your weekend? Mine was spent sewing, hanging out with
family and reading. After I finished my red medieval dress, I decided I wanted
to do the same pattern but try to create a different look and style. I'm only
about halfway done but so far am happy with the progress.
Here
are the pieces laid out. Since I was a tad short on fabric, I had to shorten
the dress length some. I think I'll add a black trim since I really think this
dress needs to be floor length.
Then,
because I wanted to try something new, I got out some thread and beads that
were laying around and started adding beads.
And
here are my results:
So
basically I first added the cording in a wavy pattern. The hardest part with
that was making it symmetrical. Then I got out the beads and added a little
star shape in the middle and little clusters of three for each wave. Overall,
I'm quite happy with how it turned out and am looking forward to doing more
beading in the future.
So, that's all for
today. I've got to go finish the lining, work on the sleeves, figure out the
black hem trim and finish this dress up.
