Today's The Day

I decided on Snow White. Dragged all the stuff out and luckily found the velvet basque, which was pinned to en-smallen. I took the pins out and it's a perfect fit. Had to go over the seams a little but hope it makes the day.
The skirt I hated, and I thought, it just needs a ruffle. I will go to WalMart and find fabric to make a ruffle. The old man and I went and it was hilarious. I would hold my sample fabric to a bolt and it would be wrong. He would point to polka dots and say, "That's it." and I would say, "No it's not. That's polka dots." "What about that??" "No, that's orange." I love him so.
SO! I found fabric that was SO close, I purchased what was left on the bolt, took it home, washed and dried it and found it was not nearly close enough. NOT nearly.
I decided to make a new skirt. It turned out pretty well and I started out doing it by hand, took about 15 minutes to decide to drag out the little Jenome and whip it out. I left some dangling elastic for my radio. Hope it can support the keys. We'll see. I hope it hides my shoes too!
I will try to get pics- I"m going to carry a red drawstring bag that was originally for knitting.
