Challenges...

2/3/2013

The past couple of days has had numerous challenges & disappointments in the studio.  

I have temporarily shelved shoe making until I get a some clay for heels - I seem to be out.  I found that the flat shoe looked much too much like a doll shoe & was not very flattering on her foot.

And my iron needs to be replaced.  It flooded the entire ironing board & floor around it today.  Pressing is such a critical part of sewing that one cannot do without it.  I was just about to start on the corset style bodice. No sewing until I get a new one so definitely a high-priority!  Shopping trip to be scheduled in first thing next week!

On the bright side, I was able to finish the multi-layer skirt for Yur just before I noticed the puddle.  This will be her first real outfit.  The skirt is made of aubergine chiffon's & black georgette.  Each tier is a cut differently & at varying lengths.  At least now I have some needle work to do in the evenings.  

I am just planning out the beadwork for each layer.  I think that I will also incorporate a sequin mix which are much lighter than beads & won't weight it down.
