New stitching.

Winter break is always a movie marathon around here -- which means plenty of stitching time for me.  Here's the start of a sundress:

I made a stencil for this one, then layered two pieces of the fabric together.

I stitched through both layers, using button thread & matte pewter bugle beads.  The running stitch indicates where the dart will be, so I know where to skip the beading.

I cut out the center of the leaves on the top layer, and stitched the dart in place.

I have the two pieces of the bodice back nearly done, then its on to the front of the bodice.  I'm planning to leave the skirt plain...but you just never know.
