Black(ish) chemise

So, back in like September of 2008 or so, I bought 12 yards of a cream crinkle cotton for $1/yd at Walmart. This is the first time I used it. But I wanted a black chemise, so I got to dye fabric for the first time!


The original fabric, almost spot on to the actual color.

Scarby cont. again

So what did I actually accomplish before Scarby? ...uhm... Not much else, heh. But this week I bought new fabric for a new forepart. I also have to redo my sister's bodice before I go home this weekend. And 4 papers due before then! Ack!
