IRCC gown update



I was able get some work done on the gown this weekend, worked on the skirt on Saturday, it took all day, pleating and repleating, Today I worked on sleeves, trim, trim, trim, not done yet but happy with them so far
This weeks update: I have a business license!!!!! It was a longer than normal process as I had to get a Special Use Permit, issued by the county planning department. I had to get all the state paperwork completed and then submit my application, then had to wait for the monthly planning meeting, After being approved by the board there was a 10 waiting period, the had to wait for everything to be recorded the pay for the license. It came in yesterdays mail!!! I can now hold classes at my sewing shop, so if anyone is looking for group lessons on how to sew costumes let me know.

I was not able to start last weekend as I was at the San Jose Fantasy Faire. So I was able to finally get to the workshop today and get started on the IRCC gown. I started by cutting out the sleeves and bodice, then I started on the skirt.I have cut the skirt and lining and am in the process of adding the padding for pleats.
