Got the tambour set today, but the frame won't be here until Thursday (supposedly). I'm going to leave it alone until then, but it's given me a lot of ideas. I thought maybe a very fine thread you could fake the "dragonfly wing" lace on the Chase collar with a chain stitch. Also, I thought it would make quick work of both the Coronation sleeves (Arwen's that is) and the Hope sleeves. I'm looking forward to lots of projects with this thing!
Speaking of the Chase outfit, I spotted a beautiful grey upholstery suede at Sir's Fabrics today that would have been PERFECT (color and weight, not to mention a fabulous price). But, I refrained from buying it. I was on the hunt for brocades for groomsmen vests (didn't find ANY) but there were quite a few suedes and corduroys that I loved. Besides, it was a remnant and I had no idea how much of it I'd need.
My friend Steff is coming over tomorrow to sew with me. She's got her own portable machine now so that should be fun. We've got a beer tasting tonight from 7-9pm at the brewery downtown (it's a Free the Hops event). We've got to bottle up some beers for it (about to start that), but I think I might try to get in some work on the bodice tonight. Would be nice to be able to start on something else tomorrow and I'm so close on it.
