Iris treated us to some lovely, lovely fabrics - can't wait for the night fairies one to be turned into a JSK... a sweet surprise post-Christmas pressie from my sweetest sister.  

Slow but steady progress on the prom gown commission... the lace is just delicious! Now it's just sewing on the sleeves and flowers, so I hope it will be done relatively soon.

Mock up of the floral decoration

So many flowers to sew on yet though...

Finished silk taffeta drawers commission - decorated with tulle lace, ruffles, pintucks and silk satin ribbon, they were a pure delight to work on!



In the few spare moments I can steal, I'm slowly working on another 1890s-inspired Period Lolita dress - and once again, it's made of polkadot fabric:-) I hope I can get my hands on a pink, yellow and lilac one as well one day to make yet some more Period Lolita dresses...
This one's gonna have the biggest sleeves I've yet tackled and in hindsight, I'd add more tulle support inside than was recommended in the pattern. Still haven't found the right kind of lace to go with this...

They don't look it on the picture, but in real life they are seriously huge.

Happy New Year everyone. I hope it treats you all well, brings you happiness, love, health, success and contentment. See you in 2019!

Just a quick update on some of the stuff that's been finished lately... I'm too tired to write a proper post, sorry, but I'd at least like to share some photos of the current-ish projects with you, guys:-)

Kittens, strawberries, cherries, polkadots and lace - isn't it just adorable? A sweet surprise pressie from Iris...


Finished kokoshnik commission - I'm kind of thinking about making one for myself for the upcoming Animefest 2019 Fashion Show, but I'm not entirely sure yet, since this type of a headdress is extremely laborious... but so regal when worn!

Silk taffeta and silk satin ribbons bloomers commission. Now the second pair, longer, is almost done... next up is a prom gown. So much to sew yet!
Cloud-printed bloomers in pink and blue; I have the black version of the fabric at home as well, but right now have no time or energy to turn it into bloomers. Someday in the future, then! The pink colourway is for sale at our Lacemarket shop here...
...and the blue colourway here.

That's all for now, next post will hopefully be up in December - hope you'll have a wonderful Advent time!
