Playtime with Angelina

Hi

I've been busy trying to think of how to finish off the bodice I've started

 

I've used centred tucks as I like doing them and am going to do bowties, but I wasn't sure what to put at the centre of the bow tie.

Here's one I prepared earlier.... Sorry about the quality of the photo - it's gorgeous really - oops 

I was having a clear-out and found some Angelina fibres left over from when I was in the theatre and was using on one of the pantomime dresses for the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella. Why not? I fancy either cutting out butterflies or small round petal flowers.

The piece here is a mixture of pink, silver and the gold and it goes quite well. I used purple in the end for the Fairy Godmother dress so the pink is going spare. I love a bit of sparkle!

 

I have these small Angelina Fibre flowers I have free embroidered on the machine which were left over from when I made Susie's wedding dress so I'm thinking of making some more like that as I don't have enough and they're the wrong colour

Perhaps I'll just cut them out without outlining - I'm not sure which way to do them yet, I'll have to have another play around. If I just cut them out I'll attach them with a bead or a sequin. Ah, decisions, decisions! As usual, another quite theatrical top - I just can't get away from it!

 

I found a picture of some butterflies I made for a wedding dress I made:

I'm not sure now, whether or not to do butterflies or flowers! I love the iridescence of the Angelina fibres - these were silver/white but for the top I think I'd do them in the pink/gold - still yet to decide!
