The steampunk night was absolutely fabulous!
Looking forward to the next one in Febuary, have a ton of new outfit ideas :D
In other news I am attempting to make an underskirt again, my first attempt ended up with me giving up, my second attempt I managed a rather straggly looking thing and then I gave up again.
In the course of making the new steampunk outfit I bought a ruffler foot, which was a pain to get used to but made ruffles infinetly easier, with this in mind I thought, great I'll have another go. I managed a respectable 2 layer underskirt.
Proud of my creation and the added 'poof' it gave my skirt I went to Swingaroo Vintage dance night, only to be struck with intense petticoat envy! Those petticoats were much fluffier than mine, after spending a frankly disturbing amount of time looking at girls petticoats (I'm sure you can get arrested for that!) I deduced that I needed another layer at the bottom to make it fluffier. So I shall try to adjust the latest one and see how it looks.
In the mean time I've had to go get my sewing machine looked at - pretty sure plastic washers falling out of sewing machines isn't a good sign! fortunately the shop I go to seems to think its not to dire and tightened a few bits here and there to make it all fine. So Now I'm good to go for more ruffling...
