It got up to 38.5 degrees C in the conservatory (that's 101.3
in F). Then I had to put the iron on to press the customer
garments! Akkk! <Thunk - Kate hits floor>
My, how you must be enjoying that nice cool weather. It was
officially 104°F in the shade here today, and there wasn't any
shade! The thermometer in my car registered 108°. AND, I had an
initial appointment with a maybe-gonna-be-my-new-doctor today.
Horrors.
Never mind... The customer (mother of bride) was delighted
with her dress and jacket, which do look rather nice (and yes,
there will be pix!).
I also saw my on-going bride today, and she LOVES what I did
with her mum's dress - and especially that I managed to cut her
top out of the train only (without using too many of the
stained areas) so the dress itself is still intact! :) She'll
be back for a final fitting on Monday, and with luck (and some
cooler weather!) it'll all be done by next Friday! :) There
are more pix of this project to go up on the web site when I
get them sorted...
What a wonderful summer of sewing you are having,
congratulations!
After all this drama, I had to go to see James in his final
dramatic outing for the school as the wizard in their version
of The Wizard of Oz. I swear it was TWICE as hot and humid in
the hall as it was in the conservatory! How some of those kids
managed in their furry outfits (the Cowardly Lion and Toto were
in fur fabric get-up!) I will never know! And this was the
second performance today! James came over really well as the
wizard, and could even be heard when the mike failed... Takes
after his mum in the voice department! ;)
I was having an idle moment, and counted up the bits of costume
in the play that I have made over the years...
Aunt Em's dress: one of a pair of 'Victorian' dresses made for
a play a couple of years back...
The lion's suit: I made this for James when he was in
reception! It's on the costume gallery...
Toto's dog suit: started as a donkey suit about 4 years ago...
The Wicked Witch's dress: the under gown from a wizard costume
made for James when he went to a themed birthday party...
James's wizard robe: part of an Aragorn outfit made for Book
Week last year...
It's good to see that they are recombining and recycling the
costumes!
Good for you! And, good for *them*. More congrats to James!
Beverly
