Sleeves! It has sleeves!

Both, yes both sleeves are on! My mom is a genius. She came up with how to put them on and it worked. The sleeves are now sewn onto Alice's dress. Tomorrow I have to hem the bottom of the sleeves (To make the edges look nice.), start hemming the bottom of the skirt then start cutting out the ruffles.

I did I test ruffle today and it was pretty easy. Just gathering really. I just need to find out what size I want to do for each section. I'll be doing it in sections to make it easier as gathering can be very hard to do in large sections.

I'll be uploading some pictures tomorrow!

Today I broke the last needle (Stupid pins!) so we went out to buy some more (got two packages this time!) and got some more Modge Podge while we were out, my Podge levels were low. But while we were out I stopped to look at the embroidery hoops. My mom owns a bunch luckily so when I start up embroidery for Seth I'll have most of the supplies I need already. But looking at all that stuff really makes me excited to start up. I like challenges and learning new things and I've always admired embroidery and am pretty excited to make a costume which a lot of details. Alice's and Caterina's dresses have been pretty simple, detailed wise and I'm sort of longing for a more detailed project.

I'm going to do a lot more research on embroidery so I can get ready and figure out what I need so I can start practicing. I don't have the money for a embroidery machine so I'm going to do it all by hand. I think doing it this way will be a lot more fun. When someone asks about it I can say I did it by hand. Not that is something wrong with using a machine, I think using it by hand will be better for me.

But anyway! I'll talk more about that later on when I start.

Ta-ta for now. I'm tired. Time for some gaming!
