Sep. 28th, 2009 08:23 amYesterday afternoon, approximately 9 yards of fabric arrived at my door; bunched together in a tiny package and costing upwards of $100 with shipping, which I had not been aware of. I kind of really don't care. It is GORGEOUS. I was a little concerned about the cream lining - it's not really that cream and it looked a lot heavier than I would have expected for a lining. But cutting out my toile of the bodice proved that it's quite light. The only problem I have now is the actual cream georgette which is to become my inset and underskirt. It's sheer, though it looks good enough over the lining.
I have all the fabric for the bodice cut out, today I'll begin actually sewing it. It's going to take me forever because it's all handsewing, but I will persevere and win this battle. Tomorrow, perhaps, I'll start a dress diary for it. I am quite excited. I think I need a sewing icon now.
Tomorrow is also my school's Sports Day (the one I have to go to). I want so badly to bring my sewing with me.
Last night I saw my grandmother in my dreams for the first time since she died. I've seen my father four times already, I think. I like to think grandma just got lost on the way over - it's a long trip between the Bronx and Japan after all. I don't remember what we spoke about, but I remeber us being in some kind of period setting. I got to tell her I loved her. It was a good dream.
