Somethings to look forward too!

So....I've been hella busy! The whole wedding dress making thing. Not only fills a lot of my time at the moment, as I need to have it done in about a week; but it also fills my thoughts, pretty much constantly. Every night when I go to bed I lie there for at least 20 minutes thinking about it all. So it's a bit stressful.

So I figured I'd just jump on a put together a list of things I'm really looking forward to at the moment.

Number 1
Finishing this wedding dress! Wedding date is the 10 November. The bodice is now completely finished with all the lace, and ACTUALLY FITS like perfectly! *phewph* that ones been a long time coming! Half of the skirt is done, turns out 9m of chiffon was only half the amount of fabric I would need for the skirt. I have never done a fully chiffon skirt, next time i'll no to over estimate, or double what I think I will need!!

Here are some pics of the lace work!

Number 2
Making my dress for the wedding! This is my fabric that I finally found and bought from E&M Greenfield, the poly crepe was $3.50 a meter hehehe awesome!!!

I ended up coming to the conclusion, that I needed to use a comercial pattern because I definately will not have the time to drape one like I was hoping.

Number 3
Making my hat/fascinator for the wedding as well!! The Gilded Bee is where I have bought this huge array of flowers that I want to make a headpiece with. Aren't they amazing? They are so fantastic for millinery and quite cheap as well which is really good and hard to find with nice little flowers!

Number 4
On the 1st of December is the Canberra Institue of Technology's Gradutating Fashion parade! Last year I modelled and did some machining for another one of the designers, this year I am also modelling for a designer, but I am also helping another one of the designers do some pattern making!! This will be super fun, and I met with her a week or so ago to go over her designs. We get along really well and Im excited to use some pattern making techniques that I wouldn't normally have a reason to use!


I modeled for devaki black last year, and here's a picture of her work from the parade! Can you pick me? hehe!
