May. 27th, 2010 07:57 amThe dress is finished! YEAY! :D
I really should work like this more, i.e. doing a little bit each day. Part of the reason I choke up -- and the main reason I've done what amounts to no sewing at all since Hallowe'en -- is that I have all these ideas, but keep telling myself I'll get started when I have a big chunk of time free to get immersed in a project. And when is that going to happen these days? Haha, right. Never. So this time, I did a little bit each evening, even if it was only hand stitching while watching Project Runway. And now, I have a dress I'm proud of. The only thing I didn't get entirely to my satisfaction is the lining up of the trim on the side, but that's because I'd already taken the zipper out three times* and thought that 1mm really isn't worth the extra hassle.
So, yay! Now for my next project...
* If you suggested that this is because I couldn't be bothered to baste it in properly, you would be right.
