A little progress...very little!

Ok, I did finally make a mock up bodice from cotton to try out my pattern measurements.  I think I may have it ok to begin an outfit. 

Front with one sleeve pinned on.

Back showing detail of where sleeve will be tied.

Since I decided to cut up the green tunic as a sacrifice, I needed to find some fabric to work with it.
Not intentionally, I found an interesting cotton pillow sham at Good Will a few weeks back.  I needed something for a bodice and sleeves or part of the sleeves.  Today, I cut out the bodice and have enough left to do a upper sleeve piece to attach to the green sleeve parts.  This will be fun!

I left the funky scallop on the bottom but will cut it off when I attach the skirt.

This is the front piece and will be cut down the front and laced up.

Close up of the texture...I will do some embellishment on this I suspect?

I drew up an idea of where I am going with this last night so I am anxious to see how it will look all together...?
