Apr. 10th, 2012 01:14 amI've been going to bed exceedingly late, and today instead of taking an afternoon nap, I opted for a long walk. Left the house around 5-ish, sent off mail, walked along King and James and back and to Dundurn and down to the Bruce Trail. By the time I got back it was 8-ish. Pretty solid walk.
Needed to get out too, because I've been spending whole days working on my sewing. Er. I should upload the pictures I've taken! Anyway, I spent a whole day putting together a bodice by myself, and made a lot of mistakes along the way. That comes of over-confidence, I guess. Just finished the grommets on it. The first one I made lacked boning, and it's also a very synthetic material so it's actually coming apart a bit at the bust seams. I'm putting some trim on it to see if I can save it.
I'm also making a very fancy tote bag! It has many pockets which I'm going to hold against me, and on the other side there is a parasol holder. But I have many plans for it which I'm not sure how to bring to fruition so Wilma is coming over tomorrow and she'll help me figure it out. I was initially using a pattern but the instructions are fucking awful.
My bra-making class is this weekend! Eeeeee, I'm excited about the possibilities!
