Diary of an Overly Ambitious Costumer: August 2009
http://diaryoftheoverlyambitious.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Diary of an Overly Ambitious Costumer. Monday, August 31, 2009. After much pondering, the purchase of my own sewing machine, a trip to Shipshewana, and help from my best friend, I have finally started my new dress set to debut at Walcott Mill in October. The fabric is absolutely gorgeous and my camera just doesn't do it justice. It's somewhere between the color in the photos and a brownish burgundy in person, but the picture shows off the stripes well. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Diary of Mantua Maker.

Once I was finished I would repeat the process in the same pattern just below the first row of stitching. Thursday, September 3, 2009. Ribbons, Feathers, and Other Pretty Things.
