Nov. 12th, 2024 09:11 amDid a grocery pickup after work yesterday, then headed home to a very cheerful M. We chatted a bit and I chopped the vegetables for the spaghetti while he got started on the sauce. I watched the baby while he cooked, then we had dinner together and watched a bit of TV, before it was time to put the baby to bed. Once she was down, he went to the bedroom to rest and I got in an hour of sewing before I also headed to bed. Managed to cut out the placket pieces and waistband, interface everything, and get the placket attached. I left the skirt with the waistband pinned on at the gathering marks, but without the skirt actually gathered up yet.
The black/gold fabric from AliExpress has arrived, so I now have all the fabrics for the black/gold natural form dress on hand. Since the design for the purple/white dress is still hazy in my mind, I've decided that the black dress is a go instead. I'm excited to start working on once I'm back from Dickens in a few weeks!
The black fabric came with a sheer embroidered panel that is supposed to match it. It has the same embroidery, but for some reason the one I got is more of a peachy color than a gold color. I had originally thought I could incorporate it somehow, but that's definitely not going to happen with such a color discrepancy. But, it's 2 yards of embroidered chiffon that will definitely be used for something, so I'm happy to have it in the Stash.
Went to order some clothes before the Orange Menace's tariffs kick in next year, and found that prices are already up. ~sigh~ I used to be able to order a dozen dresses for around $200 from my favorite site, but this time around 9 items totaled over $300. Hunted online a bit and found a coupon code that knocked the order down to $250, so I pulled the trigger and now have a supply of winter clothes on the way.
Saw on FB that Anacronicos is closing its doors. I never ordered from them, but always admired their products. If you want something, you have until December 15th.
