This week is actually our one week of holidays! But i wouldn't call it that at all! If anything its more intense and crazy than the last few weeks! the due date is drawing closer, and im frantically trying to get everything done! It is a huge relief to get the photo shoot out of the way though! So at the moment i have fully finished two outfits! YAY! and am half way through the third outfit! Im not doing too badly, but i think it has been the beading and hand stitching that has set me back i bit, but im still confidant ill get it all done! So im off, to keep soldiering on! wish me luck! Until next time!

Monday 27th of September was the day! I was fortunate enough to get two models for my photoshoot (Lucy Harrison and Kiera Wood), so i was able to have two outfits photographed! The Hair (by Erin Lydiard) and make up (by Kristina Persichini) was fantastic! Luci Horsfall was my photographer for the day, and she did an amazing job! We originally planned to do it at Electric Light hotel but when that venue fell through on the morning of the shoot, we ended up across the road at the Belgian Beer Cafe, which worked out really well! A huge thankyou to everyone involved! I cant wait to see the photos!

I have become quite attached to Li. The fabulous man who makes me several cups of the best coffee in the world everyday! Cheers to Li!

I think i am slowly going blind from beading every night! I just keep telling myself that it will all be worth it in the end! Lets just say my addiction to coffee is getting a little out of hand! I have now finished my first outfit, which is exciting! What a great sense of relief knowing there is one down! 5 to go!
Now onto my next outfit! i have decided to start on outfit #5. So cut out and put together the beginnings of my little purple bodice. So its back to beading myself to sleep everynight! Why do i do this to myself!? While im beading at night time, i am working on my shorts/skirt at tafe. I have attached some photos of my progress!

The weeks are passing by to quickly and the deadline is drawing closer and closer! Now that i have finished all my patterns and toiles (except for the last skirt that Im leaving until last), I am now making my good garments and one by one finishing off garments. First, i wanted to get all of my undies done and out of the way, so cut all 5 pairs out, overlocked, elastic inserted, cover-stitched, and im all done! I then decided to move onto my first outfit. Once i had cut out and put together my bodice pattern, i was able to do my beading at night and work on my blouse at tafe. I have attached some pictures of my first outfit so far...
