I can now proceed with my chocolate/black sleeves, as my ribbon has arrived. But who buys just one yard of ribbon? I bought an extra yard of the other two colors I purchased alongside the green, as I would have the same issue with a shortage if I didn't, and also got some pale pink and blue - all silk. Color me happy. This ribbon feels so luxurious. *loves*I also got a couple new books to augment my costuming library.
And now, back to painting...
Ribbons, yay! I was inspired by how you sew your ribbons into the sleeve heads that I just did that on my new sleeves!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I love silk ribbon... And costuming books!
ReplyDeleteYou have Apropos Patterns! Swoon. It's on my dream list. Just always seems far too pricey. So, so jealous.
ReplyDeleteJust be sure to back stitch a couple times to make sure it's really secure. :D
ReplyDeleteI know it's out of print and hard to find, so when I saw a copy I
ReplyDeletesnatched it up. Cost me less than Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe Unlock'd,
so I think I got it for a steal. You're welcome to poke at it if you're
ever in the Ogden area, or we can arrange for me to bring it to an
event.
Crystal, thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. I think this challenge you are doing is crazy wonderful! I look forward to seeing your progress in the upcoming months. Go Girl!
