The Scottish Outfit

I started on my Scottish garb. I have an Irish gown and plaid skirt already but I need an outfit for both days of scottish weekend, right? Actually, I'm just using the scraps of velvet from a clients outfit and some plaid fabric I got at a silent auction for $3.

The above pictures are of the cut fabric. Doesn't the velvet go beautifully with the plaid? It's not a real plaid. It's simply a printed cloth but I don't care. :-) Miss Ginsie loves the skirt/plaid fabric. I'll sew it up tomorrow and post more pictures.

Skirt is done

I finished the skirt. I went with gathering the material into the waistband rather than attempting to pleat four yards down to 30". It came out well and looks lovely. It fits perfectly around the hoop skirt. Now, as to the reason I didn't finish the bodice. Ummm...I broke this sewing machine too... ::hang head in shame:: I have no idea how. I have a couple of ideas on how to fix the darn computerized thing so just pray that it works. Because I need to get this bodice done before festival starts!...well, this one, and two more gowns. I at least want to get the Italian gown done too before the 27th. The day of wrong outfit is a umm...a work in progress. It's definatly something that (I hope) will have people puzzled. ::insert evil laugh here::
