Mini Top Hat Update!!

Bonsoir!!

Good news! I finished constructing the hat! :) It was most put together by hand-stitching. It's a wee bit lopsided... ^^;; It was the first attempt at my own pattern for a hat, so I didn't expect it to be prefect, but it's pretty darn cute!! Since I'm still waiting on the swatches of fabric for my dress I can't finish the hat. I have to pick the dress colors before the ribbon colors. Plus I need to buy some feathers. The ones I purchased from the store aren't exactly what I had been hoping for. They will do the trick if I need to use them.

Also.... I won a serger on Ebay!! Wooo!! ^^ It was a big surprise because I had decided the night before that I wasn't going to get one, but when I saw how low the bids were on it I decided to try. I left for lunch and then when I came back bam!! I had won the auction. I'm pretty excited. I hope it's an amazing little machine! I will have to try it on something once I read the manual... >.> Not reading the manual could be bad.

I've also come up with the design for the skirt and overskirt, but I've been wondering whether or not to buy the patterns... I think I can make these patterns and this jacket, but I've never done something this big. Plus look at the lopsided hat I made... Well you can't look yet, but you know what I mean. Maybe I'm not ready to design a pattern... I have only been sewing for a little over a year and a half. Blerg... What a way to end this post! =( At least I made a hat!! I think I can treat myself to a brownie. ^_______________^

Night!
