You may remember a couple of posts ago that I was sewing 30 metres of ribbon trim to go on costumes for KelpieBlossom's annual ballet concert. With that task complete (thanks Domestic Goddess for your help) I was elevated to Apprentice Assistant Deputy Trim Director at the ballet concert sewing bees.
The ballet concert is tomorrow night. I just hope KelpieBlossom gets over her colic/UT infection, or whatever it is that is making her sick at the moment, so she can dance in the production she has practised over 30 hours for.
Since that time I have sewn gold buttons onto flight attendant costumes, gold beading onto lush velvet jackets and now at the pinnacle of my seamstress career: gold buttons sewn onto (fake) fur AND the making of those little loopy things to secure the buttons (what ARE they called?).
I'll have you know I made those loops from scratch using some sort of nifty crochet-type process I learnt this morning.

Update: KB woke up feeling fine on Friday morning ready for the concert. Report coming later.

Are they maybe called 'button loops'???
Very impressive CV of skills you're developing there. You'll be Head Wardrobe Mistress at The Australian Ballet before you know it.
Hope KelpieBlossom is getting better.
I wish I had a mum that sewed for me.
Or anyone actually.
And they could cook me dinner and clean the house too.
And make my hair look pretty.
Come live with me ?
H&B, appreciate the offer but I fall short on the cook dinner/clean house bit. And I'm not that flash a sewer (that just looks wrong) because I was never elevated to the overlocking department at sewing bees.
Fairlie, apparently they do have a fancy name, I'll have to do some research and get back on that one.
And, KelpieBlossom has woken up feeling MUCH better. Yay.
what Fairlie said.
I hope KelpieBlossom has a wonderful concert. You are a good mother, aren't you?
You're a flashing sewer? Oh my!
I think button loops is it. Whatever they are they look very spiffy. You will be an ace Trim Director someday. I guess you are an understudy of sorts now?
