the puck funk skirt continues
I added some more red netting underneath - and I think it needs more black and silver? any thoughts?
dont I look my most glamourous?? And those socks - I tell you, it's Paris here I come!! HAHAHAHA
My sewing machine has actually been playing up recently and I thought today I would have to buy a new one. But alas I took it to Spotlight (where they must think I have nothing else to do but shop there) and the lady there, Pina, helped me so much and she fixed the problem and taught me what to do in case it happens again. Thankyou Pina!!
Today was a fun day actually as I got a private tour of Marianna Hardwick, one of Australia's leading bridal designers (the who's who of Melbourne wear her when they get married). I work right next door to them and I went in the other day to ask if they had any old dressmaking dummies that they might be looking to sell? They didn't but the store manager, Susie, offered to show me around upstairs, where they make each dress to order. The dresses start at $3000 and that's for the very basic. It was absolutely STUNNING and such a privilege to be allowed to see what these masters do to make such incredible bridal couture. Thankyou Susie!!
Kass it's looking like a skirt ready to be worn by a punked up fairy! Looks great. I think mayby a trim of black on the bottom of the top layer, but that is only a thought.

Lucky you to get a tour of the Harwick studios, all the fabrics and trims bursting at the seams with creative inspiration but good old Spotlight is not to bad a trip either. That is nice the ladies there were able to give some guidance on the quirks of machinery.
The Anne Journal is taking shape, won’t be much longer and you will be on your way to an amazing adventure.
