Today I start in earnest on the Bo Peep outfits. I've chosen the fabrics, and selected the laces and trims, but like usual, there's not enough of the right coloured ribbons, which means a trip to Fabricland tonight. I had enough wide ribbons in the right colour for the hats, and I do have just the right colour of 1/4 and 1/8 inch wide ribbons, but there's not nearly enough for three dresses. And I can't start on the first, hoping to find the exact same thing for the other two, because I need them to be all the same. Hopefully Fabricland has some the right colour.

In the meantime, I'll start on the tights and slips, and work out the patterns for the bodice.

Oh ! Your hats are always so pretty ! Where in the world do you find all those tiny flowers ?

Thanks! I have quite a big stash of flowers, and always pick up more whenever I see some for a good price, especially when they are on sale when they are being discontinued. Most of the flowers I use are no longer available anywhere, so I keep my eye out at secondhand thrift shops too. I have several big boxes of old white bridal flowers, and those can be 'dyed' with diluted acrylic paint. Those larger deep blue flowers started out white.

Good luck with that trip to the shop!
I love the colours you have chosen and having found the photos of the original costume you made, I now know what you are making.
The hats are fabulous and I just look at them now and see all the work in them.......and you did it 3 times! *gasp*

Good luck with getting the undergarments made today too!
