I haven't eaten enough today. My stomach is complaining but I'm putting off taking my break so that the afternoon goes quicker. It makes sense to me OK?
I spent my lunch hour buying birthday presents which is why I haven't eaten enough. My phone battery died so I can't text Giffy about going to Coppelia on Friday 29th October.
Last night's sewing went well. I was able to sort out the sewing machine and with a bit of frustration got the bodice together. Next is sleeves, but I actually want to start on the proper dress. I am impatient now that I see how easy it will be.
List of things I need for my birthday dress: interfacing
~ thin leather strap/cord/lacing...I'm thinking about 1cm wide, anyone know where I could get that? I may make my own out of PVC. I need about a metre's worth.
~black lace? I kinda want some but I'm scared it'll look tacky. Does black lace look tacky all the time?

Posted by: Sass at October 5, 2004 04:41 PMCord will hold better than ribbon as a rule, so it depends on whether or not it will be under stress. As far as black lace goes, no it doesn't always look tacky. But it really depends on the quality of the lace. If you want to use some, go for it.

Black lace...I'll see what I can find.
