I have been a very busy bee today! I made two trips to the market to buy ribbon, lining, brooch backs and wadding, the second trip wasn't that successful as I couldn't find what I was looking for. I had to make 2 arms out of kalico and stuff them to pin on the mannequin for when garments are made with arms/arm holes. I then spent the rest of the day hand sewing brooch backs on to some fabric flowers and making phone calls to various suppliers to place orders. I had a bit of trouble with this as I had problems trying to order online so gave up and phoned a company.
