Farbie, Thine Name is ViennaBelle!

[viennabelle]

Ok, I am definitely cutting corners. But there was no way in heck I would waste several evenings hand sewing eyelets with so little time left. My machine seems only capable of elliptical eyelets (oddly appropriate, given that this is the anniversary of the Apollo landing, but not desireable). So what to do?

I got white eyelet tape and sewed it into the boned layer. I'm going to put a facing on the fashion fabric to hide it--but it's what is commonly done with Victorian era ballgowns. Not desireable--but I'm going for costume here, not abject accuracy. Together with chopping off the tabs--it may make this project reasonable to finish next weekend. Now I'm fiddling with the sleeves and hoping the rest of my trim arrives before the weekend.

So, call me a farbie Barbie! Life is good!
