Here are pics of what I've been doing the last 24 hours (besides studying). Click pictures for descriptive sentences of excitement.
My yarrrrrn ballllllll:
My refashioned, too-big eBay find for Lara's wedding started out like this and ended up thus:
Chopped down the middle, edged with ribbon to reinforce grommets/lace-up detail. Also 'cuz I'm too lazy to sew the edges in.
Punching grommets was one of the most fun things I've ever done with sewing.
I can't take pictures of my own hand too well, but here you have it.
End
result, but still a bit wonky 'cuz it's still too big for me. We don't
want dresses falling in the ceremony... I guess my quick and dirty
refashion at this point would just be to slap straps somewhere along
the neckline. But ugh, refashioned strapless dresses. It looks cute,
though. Not bad for two hours' work and some brain juice from a bad
seamstress?
I'm wearing it with these. Hey! I have a right to be matchy-matchy.

I hate the bow. :(
