Busy busy busy
May. 8th, 2004 09:13 pmI have so far today made up 4 (count 'em!) corsets. They need boning and finishing. So I am approximately 5/6 of the way through my trade order. I am knackered. Tonight I will be making up at least one more, leaving all the finishing and a final one to be done tomorrow.
Still, need the money :) I have secured a wedding dress commission also, so when the money for that comes in, I may even be able to get the new sewing machine I desperately need. Go me!
I'm trying to decide whether to start going to festivals etc., I am in two minds as I am not sure whether I can a) have enough stock and b) have the right kind of stock. I could add c) and get there as I can't drive and neither can Ghost. Maybe I should put driving lessons on the 'to do' list.... Chris is very keen, but he hasn't a clue about fashion ("I want some trousers - kind of leather ones with a string up the side with some brown stuff on" - translation, I would like a pair of lace up sided leather look trousers with brown PVC inserts) and I don't really want to go just on his word. I have been having a look at the traders so far and I think I might slot in nicely, but will LARPers pay what I charge? Currently the choice is The Gathering (Lorien Trust) or InFest with plus size cyberwear, but as Ghost pointed out, InFest can be very 'label conscious' and I'm not that big a label. God I am so indecisive! It's just that either one will be a massive amount of work, and I don't want to put in all that work and all that time and all that money to sit behind a stall all day picking imaginary lint off of everything!
Anyway, corsets are not making themselves so I had better go and sew some more!
