First Day of Snow

First things first: it was snowing this morning! The air looked sort of fuzzy when I woke up, and when I looked closer, it was snowing! It stuck to the ground, but it didn’t stay long, as it’s a few degrees above freezing. So note to self: first snow of the season – 13 October.

I have worked so much the past two weeks, I’ve hardly had time to sew on the wedding dress. I wasn’t working yesterday, so I did some sewing then. I had planned to do more, but I didn’t feel well, and spent most of the day sleeping on the sofa, with the cat curled up close by. Still, all the front parts of the bodice is now piped and sewn together.

I did some sewing on my corded petticoat yesterday as well. I was tired, and didn’t feel like the wedding dress was the right project for me right then, but the corded petti is a safe thing to work on when tired, not really a risk of getting it wrong. I’ve now finished the 26th row of cording. It was so fun to work on it, and I love the look of the pattern the rows of cords make. I really want to get that wedding dress finished, so I can work on my own projects again, with a good conscience.

Hopefully I can sew all the bodice pieces together, so that we can have a fitting later this week. Then there’s the most difficult part on this dress: the tulle overlay of the skirt. I’m not kidding, it scares me. The hem of the dress need to be curved to look nice, but I’m using the embroidered edge of the fabric, so I just can’t curve the hems on the tulle layer. Somehow, I’ll have to make it work anyway…..

The bodice looks beautiful so far. I love piping in bodice seams, it just looks nicer I think and reminds me of the dresses from the 1820's-1840's. Your corded petticoat is looking great!

Thank you, I love piping too, it adds a more worked, and elegant touch.
