The skirt of the Shakespeare costume is beautiful! Daughter is holding it up...it is much too long, but I won't hem it until it gets attached to the bodice.
The bodice is in process. The next step is to decide on the trim.
Am I stressed about the dress? No, not really. Still, I have a stress reliever project started... I am making 8" red and white bow tie blocks. These are quick to cut and sew! I can do one at a time.
The bow tie blocks leave behind two half square triangles, which I am making into 5.5" bear paw blocks! Cool! Two blocks out of one cutting!
Just have to show this...17 yards of fabric! I found it at Goodwill, marked at $7.99. But it was a blue tag, and today was blue tag special....all blue tags are.....$1.29! Yep, 17 yards of a cotton fabric for $1.29. Un be lieve a ble.
Here is a close up of the fabric. It will be the perfect backing for one of the church graduation quilts, but that will use only 6 yards. That leaves 11 yards for me!
I think I will make some sort of stack and whack eventually...like way off in the future...when the costume is finished as well as some UFOs!
