Never really done

Posted on June 7, 2011 by Trystan
Time

Stayed up late sewing last night. What? On a weekday? Snowballs en l’enfer? Yeah.

Added some freshwater pearls to the points in the cutout cross shape of the over-sleeves on my pink Florentine gown, plus at the corners of the collar. On Sunday, I’d sewn narrow gold trim along the collar & the cuffs of the inner sleeves. Still would like to add more of the pink braid at the cuffs of the over-sleeves & maybe around the waistline of the gown. All little bits of trim that make it look more finished & complete to my eyes.

I know, should have taken a picture. Later, later.
