Have been going through wigcraft tutorials (fun!). Have also taken to experiment with the Evil Black Lining Fabric strips. Good news: it takes to ruffling like a duck to water. Bad news: it abhors the mere thought of being hemmed. Which means I get to fall back to the old stand-by used for the Crinoline of Cute. Namely, picking up one or two of those 100-yard spools of ribbon (in black this time) next time I happen to be near the fabric district, ironing it in half (bleh, the tedium), and sewing it over the raw edges of the finished project. Also discovered one of my two ruffler feet seems to've stopped working. Fortunately, at one point when I took my machine in for a tune-up it still had the (now non-functional) foot on it. The guy behind the counter took a look, said it was a crap foot and asked me who sold it to me (um, *them*...) and gave me the second (still working) one for free. ^^

Have picked up second diploma. Am a bit depressed at the moment. This may have to do with sewing machine not liking the current bits of flowergirl dress and/or jabbing needles into my finger. Slept way too long this morning, which may also be a cause--I do not take well to too much rest. Thank goodness I have the next two days off. Though, really, if this mood continues over to tomorrow it's going to put a scotch (again) on plans to go to the fair....

It says something about how busy my workplace is during mid-week summer doldrums that I took with me three sewing projects and completed two of them. (The third being the tablecloth, which will not be done for at least a few weeks.) But the flower girl's dress lacks only a hook and eye set, the netting collar, and the hem and it's done. And I can't do the hem until I have the flower girl here on Friday.

Wonderful Husband sent me this link, which Transformers fans may find amusing.
