Newest Projects
My Chemise is made out of a soft cotton, is about calf length, and if you look close you can probably see the saftey pin holding it closed for the moment *whistles*
I decided to try my drawers crotchless this time... we'll see how that goes. The corset is the only thing I have that is NOT period in the least! A friend gave it to me as a temp. It's spandex with boning in it... it's rather uncomfortable... but it'll work until I get up the funds to make/ buy a real one
And finally the finished product. it needs hemmed and a kick plate, some sort of trim.. maybe and of course buttons.. (I procrastinate on buttons can you tell?) oh! And I have to make a collar.
As my next project, I decided to teach myself to knit. Luckily... I learn quickly. That is, with several you-tube videos and a lot of help from my mom!
And my result is!
A sock!
One, sad, ill- fitting, itchy sock.
But hey! it's a sock right? (And yes, I know there's a needle in my toe... but mom has yet to teach me to cast of...)
I only wanted to see if I could. The next one will be better! and I'll have the right type of yarn.
My next project, (also a "See if I can do it, with spare yarn) is, A sontag!
Now this one is going much better!.. so far. It's a simple knit five purl five pattern and then you switch every five rows. As you can see, I'm not very far yet, so I haven't gotten to the crossing "Arms" yet. But anyways, there 'tis! my latests conquests!
Love and Huggs!
