isabelladangeloI made cake. :-) Okay, so it's just the Betty crocker in a box kind but I LOVE the smell of cake through the house. It's yummy. I bought some neat Christmas Tree shaped cake pans and used those. The cakes look scrumptious! I have green icing (I know, I'm cheating. I didn't make my own) and sprinkles. I'm taking them in tomorrow for my main office and hopefully they'll like 'em. I didn't want to get everyone individual Christmas gifts; especially since they tend to be food anyways. I figured cake is always welcome.
As for sewing updates....
I finished the muslin for the 1840's gown. The pleats look hilarious since I didn't bother to make 'em super nice and neat. It will work for the muslin. From what I can tell, the bodice I really like is only two pieces but I'm making it out of three. I'm doing a back piece, a front piece, and a side piece. This goes along with my antique 1840's gown, so I'm not doing anything that can't be documented. :-)
The Elizabethan is ummm...lying draped over the sewing desk? I need to take it apart still.
For Christmas, I might go simple and just make a white panne velvet broomstick skirt and put red velvet ribbons on it. It won't take longer than two hours to cut that out and put it together and it will look nice for church. Now, just what shirt to wear with it?
