3rd April 2009


Today I went to John Lewis with Rebecca to get some bits and bobs, she then showed me where Pikes was in the market where they get some of their trimmings, fastenings etc. I then had to push fabric over some buttons for a waistcoat, this was so hard getting the fabric to stay over the button, tuck under and hook onto the sharp hooks, my fingers were very sore!
Then the models turned up and I helped dress some of them in corsets, this was fun!
Later I started to hand sew some tassels and frills on a bra for Cherry, Cherry is a customer, she is a burlesque dancer, Eternal Spirits make a lot of her costumes.
At the end of the day I mopped the boutique floor with Rebecca, long, long day!
