I had some left over cotton so I made another Calorimetry. This time I cast on less stitches and it came out the perfect length cause the other one came out a little too long so I had to shift the button to fit. Here’s some pics…
Here is my progress on the lace scarf…
I don’t think I’ve ever blogged about my Regency (Jane Austen style) Ball Gown I sewed a couple of months back. I still haven’t had an opportunity of wearing it. I actually made it especially to wear to a friends wedding but it turned out to be a very dressed-down affair so I [...]
