This picture is from a few days ago, but the red dress is (almost) finished! I want to redo the flower thing in the middle to make it look less flat, and it’s lacking beads but other than that it’s done! I wore it the other night when Boyfriend and I went on a pre-Valentine’s Day date. It’s swirly and lovely and I completely forgot to take pictures. -headdesk-
I’ll get on that.
I think I have an unhealthy obsession with Hermione. In the past month, I have made two of her sweaters, one dress, a hat.
On top of that, I started a scarf the other day..
..and I’m in the beginning stages of a second dress.
This dress is absolutely gorgeous but it’s driving me insane. It was handmade by Jenny Packham for Hermione to wear to Slughorn’s Christmas party, and since the entire scene lasts all of a minute and a half and happens in the dark, there aren’t a lot of reference images. In fact the only ones I could find online were about fifty pixels wide. So I’ve been watching that scene and saving screen captures in the attempt to find one that actually shows me how the seams are done on the bodice. I thought I had it figured out, but after two hours of attempting to recreate a pattern of it, I deemed it impossible and have added a stomach panel under the crinkled bust bit.
Like this, basically:
And I may have ordered more yarn to redo the Deathly Hallows Fair Isle cardigan in the proper colors.
I need about eight more sets of hands.
