Velvet and Lace Bridal Shrug – Part 1

You know how the night before a vacation is so exciting that it’s practically impossible to fall asleep?  You stay up way too late, and even when you do manage to sort of calm yourself, you’re still half awake all night?  It was like that when I was a kid, anyway, now I can sleep pretty much anytime, anywhere.  Except apparently when I’m working on this kick ass project!  Remember that lace I showed you a couple of days ago?  Well turns out I was onto something, because this is blowing my mind!

Look at that sleeve!  I’m freaking out, people.  Turns out hand-stitching lace is not a time-consuming project at all when you’re obsessive compulsive and completely in love with it.  I stayed up way too late last night working on the other sleeve and then dreamed about it all night.  I’m obsessed.  Just wait until I start with the lace on the body of the jacket.  And then add the ruffled tulle to the ends of the sleeves.  And then line it all in pink silk.  Whoa, people.  Whoa.
