Right now I'm making a commision for a halloween costume. I do love a good circle skirt, though was quite annoyed that I could only get gingham in 44" width but solved it with some creative pattern placement :)
I've drafted the pattern from a dress the customer already had with a couple of minor adjustments. There's a heck of a lot of lace involved, which I didn't realise when I quoted a price for her - luckily I found some absolute bargain lace that was just perfect! (Though it did involve spending nearly an hour searching on my hands and knees in the trimmings dept of Abakhan - good job they like me there!)
It's all looking very pretty - there'll be some pictures soon.
