Yay!

Just got back from sewing circle and had lots of fun... met many of the wonderful people I've seen/heard of on here, and got some more beading and some blackwork done. Yay progress! I cannot wait until these projects are done so I can start new stuff... I think I'm going to do the batwings/corset project next... I think I'm going to go with Rois's idea of making it so the wings can be taken off, for versatility. Also I want to do my kimono second next :) Need to find gorgeous gorgeous fabric for that. And then... hmmm... maybe finish my duvet that's been untouched these many months. Once I finish the blocks on the blue & white side, I can stitch together and then I can do detail work and make the red curtains... oooh glorious bedding, I love it. Don't know what I'm going to accessorise with on the blue & white side yet.... Nate doesn't want it to be too too girly so I'll prolly have to avoid bows... course he might let me get away with it just so the darn thing gets DONE. :) I really really want to make silky bemberg sheets.... I am so pushing my sewing abilities though. Actually, it's really my ironing abilities I'm worried about so I can make that tiny unnoticable seam. But make no mistake, I will have these sheets!! Actually I want a whole wardrobe of the stuff... esp some nice black pants that are really really full. Must order fabric for pants and swatches so I can choose color for sheets... yes, I have enough other projects, but I just never learn....

Fabric, o wondrous fabric...

I will be ordering my bemberg tomorrow... I hope I hope I hope it is absolutely the same stuff as my skirt. If not, I will find out before I buy gobs of it...
I also need to get to a fabric store this week... I'd like to whip up some sarongs for our trip and I need to get some black material and pvc for the batwing corset project... BTW -- I would like some opinions here regarding the edges. The initial plan was to just edge it in the same black pvc I use for the body of the corset. However, I've been thinking, and I'll almost definitely always be wearing this with other black clothes - so I'm wondering if I should edge it in some contrasting color and/or material - any thoughts on what would look good? Plenty of time before I get to the edging stage, but I like to plan ahead....
