Anyone out there with a sewing machine?

I'm perfectly capable of making these myself, except that my mother has seized my sewing machine and promises to let it go only if it's pried out of her cold, dead hands, so I have a wee bit of a dilemma.



I've now got a skirt to go with the skirted corset I mentioned a week or two back. What I need now are bloomers, to both go with the weird ensemble and to deal with the Chafing Problem, which you large-legged folks know about.

Naturally, I found the Perfect Pair online when I was looking for skirts and hadn't thought about bloomers, and havne't been able to find them since. [They were black with a red or black inset at the hem, gathered in with lace just below the knee, on some sort of Goth/costume/steampunk/whatever site.] Failing a miracle and anyone here finding them online, I'm looking for someone to make me a pair similar to these Tea Party Bloomers, only in my size. :)

I'd need them before the first week of April, as I need them to wear to Anime Matsuri. Obivously, I'd pay for 'em. Cotton, black, with white or red (well, burgundy if it's available) drippy lace at the hem, just below the knee, gathered in with elastic or a drawstring. Talk to me if you're interested. :)

Going to bed now. *yawn*

D'you mean these? (http://www.kambriel.com/skirts-bloomers.html) I covet them myself, actually.

Those were not the specific ones I remember (there was a wedge of color at the knee, and the picture had a model wearing them), but that's the general idea.

I am a seamstress.... Let me check my work calendar and I'll let you know if I have time. (I should, since this is a fairly simple project, but I have to check to be sure...)

Looks like it is a go. I'll keep you updated as I find the materials. I do need some measurements so I'll email you with directions for accurate measuring. Is the gmail account the right one?

Thanks! :D Yup, gmail's correct: telophase14@gmail.
