The couture clutches have re-clutched my attention (ha ha ha), mostly because I spent a lot of yesterday FIXING things ... like missing buttons and hems on my clothing that had needed attention for at least a year. While I did this, I spent some time fixing little boo-boos on some clutches I made in the last batch, and then got all fired-up to make some new ones.
I also got my act together and finished the raspberry flounce choli. I had decided NOT to permanantly affix a flounce to it because I'm not very into the flounce and would love to have a choli in this fantastic fabric that I can wear with other costumes anyway. So with a little advice from our troupe's costume mistress, I came up with these snaps as a solution. But I needed to keep the choli fabric from stretching where the snaps would go, to prevent puckering, so that meant I needed to add this hem tape. I did it on the flounce as well, since that fabric originally cut in a circle, then pushed outward to be a straight line (to make the flounce-y-ness) could use the extra strength, I thought. In any case, I am really pleased with the result and can't wait to wear it.
The other excitement around here? Well, the greenhouse is really coming together. In fact, while I've been doing all this sewing my husband has been hammering away affixing the siding to the structure. Next step I believe is to level the floor then pour in some gravel (which I believe will be my chore this week), and then we'll start worrying about finding a door (because I don't want JUST any door) and the heating/cooling/watering elements that will make it a true greenhouse.
