Upcoming projects

While it appears I have not been doing much by way of design, I really just haven't been doing much by way of blogging. =) Here are a few things I've been working on lately, photos to follow soon:

• Two medieval T-tunic style dresses similar to the blue linen one I made. I'm putting some metallic embroidery around the neckline and cuffs, and lacing up the back. The fabric is from my stash--a home dec weight with a subtle watermark that reminds me of grosgrain ribbon. One is a raspberry color, the other a teal green. NOT authentically medieval, but very pretty so far. They'll be posted in my Etsy store for the Halloween season as soon as they're completed.


• Danielle's blue dress she wears on her outing to the monastery with Henry in the film Ever After. Again, this is one for my Etsy store, hopefully in time for Halloween. I've even made her gold circlet, which I'll be including.


• Tribal bellydance belts! I love the look of tribal costuming (I'm not very good at the style, however, I've quickly discovered as I've blundered through my practice DVDs.) I'm experimenting with some embroidered waistbands and funky fringe and am really liking the results so far.

The next few weeks should be very productive!
