A peacock. It is beautiful! I would love to have it for them. However, it is on SALE for $94.99....and I need two. No way that is happening.
So, I set my wheels a turnin' and came up with an alternate plan.
I bought long sleeved unitards off of ebay in a deep purple color. I have also purchased some sheets of 100% Wool Felt in various colors to make the feather ends and head pieces. I will have to wait until I get those to do much more, but here is a preview of the skirt.
I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. Feathery and very easy! (Notice my new antique dress form who is modeling it. I love her!)So, needless to say, I didn't do the sewing that I needed to do this weekend. I will be doing that tonight and tomorrow and the next day and the next....
I will be at the Princeton Christian Reformed Church craft show on October 11 from 9-3. You can drop by to see the new line in person and to make special orders for aprons.
