Above are the sewing out of the oak leave at the bottom of the bodice on my Bernina 200. To the left is the first draft of the embroidered bodice. The left and right fronts are mirrored images of each other.
Photo on left is the embroidery on left shoulder and left neck opening on left side of bodice.
Picture on right shows making placement for next hooping for center embroidery of left side of bodice. I printed out the next section to digitize then cut out the line showing the hoop. When positioned correctly placed the bottom section of the hoop in place under the printed out paper templet.
This is the peplum practice sew out for the bottom of the right side bodice below.
Above is the entire sewn out left bodice with out the oak leaf peplum to be attached to the bottom of the bodice.
It is all coming together. I will find out next week when the exhibit is in April.
Blackwork collar and cuffs I am making for the Renaissance Faire in Phoenix.
