And progress on my own handwork...
Cindy's Shawl
Detail of the beaded embroidery
I did get quite a bit done on the shawl Cindy wears in part of the play, "Into the Woods". We chose a sage colored plush and an eyelet embellished soft corduroy which really does match but takes the light differently. For trim, we found this incredibly expensive organza trim with hand beading and embroidery.
Also got Sky's peach pettycoat together except for the hem and have trimmed the skirt's velvet forepart with the gold bullion trim.
Kim's fabric is prepped for her skirt and that's part of what's on the burner for today.
