Oh and I ordered fleece for my quidditch robes/badcape project. Which I kinda need like preferably 2 weeks ago when I didn’t know yet that I needed it. ^^ 

Bountiful day at the market, and pitiful quality picture. Anyways, there's red bath-towel fabric in bright red, yellow cotton, 3m of yellow biasband(I don't know the English word right now. It is used to give a pretty fabric edge to fabric, which you actually see on towelsvall the time), and 6m of the same stuff in red. Then there's 5m of yellow ribbon, 3 golden buttons, and embroidery thread in black, white, yellow, less bright yellow, brown and red. And all this will be made into a bathrobe for kids, which will be designed to resemble a gryffindor quidditch outfit!

In the meantime, I’ve also read pride and prejudice, seen the 2005 movie, and the miniseries from 1995, and I am hellbent on making a regency dress. As I can’t find any patterns that are historically accurate, I will just do with a pattern from simplicity. I will however need to make a corset, a shift and a petticoat to go along with it. To still give the dress a bit of a wow-factor I will have to take up the needlework I suppose and do some embroidery on it. And as such this project needs to be taken on pretty soon, if I want to finish it before next year... :’D 

And the zipper has been attached! Granted, with quite a bit of help from mom. But it's in, and quite invisible. Things left to do are attaching the interfacing to the waistband, attaching skirt and underskirt to the waistband and the button/buttonhole.

Just did some shopping for a blind zipper and a button. The lenght of zipper that's needed has also been carefully calculated by pinning the seam and attempting to pull the skirt over my hips, removing pins until I could. Because screw math. Hoping to finish the skirt this week at the very least ^^

The mushroom pincushion in all it's splendour. It falls over sometimes, but it does it's job.

Front and sides stitched together. Now just the back and sides and then that all together. After that the 'real' work begins: a blind zipper on the side, a button and sewing everything to the waistband. Also the fabric looks blue because of the light, but its dadkbrown like in the second pic!
