What I've Been Up To And Filling In The Blanks

  I have been sewing! But slowly, little bits at a time. Right now I'm working on this:

  So far, only two problems... I didn't add enough gathering room in the tops of the sleeves, and I don't have any buttons that look right for the bib placket. I dyed some, but I forgot that things never dye as yellow as I expect, and that plastic picks up color much faster than fabric. Instead of something a touch lighter than what was on the bottle I ended up up with this:

  Which are very pretty, but not what I want. Once done, this bodice will have sleeve bands like the one sitting on the left, a waistband to match the sleeve bands, pretty buttons, and a circle skirt. I'm looking forward to seeing it finished! =)

Meanwhile, while my sewing is going so slowly, I thought I'd take a couple minutes and fill in the blanks with luvinthemommyhood. Here goes!
