I tend to plan my blogging for the end of the day, but it often happens that I'm tired, or involved in something, or it's too late, or my mind just isn't there - anyway, I need a new routine.
My dress is slowly coming together - the bodice is sewn, the sleeves are on, the skirt is attached. It went over my head easily and I decided I wanted a higher bodice/skirt seam, so I've brought it up an inch. But I won't try it on until tonight - I don't always feel like putting my clothes on and off. I also noticed that the shoulder seams are too low; I mean that ideally, the bodice needs to be trimmed and the sleeves re-attached. I have also considered making two thin tucks along the top of each shoulder area to "bring in" the shoulder seam, without having to do it the long way. I chose the bodice size which I thought would fit me, but it's big. That's okay, but how much will I have to take things in before I have a hard time pulling it over the head? Which is why I didn't line the bodice. I was going to, but realized there might be issues. So, I creep along.


I always love to read about your sewing projects -- You help me to keep alive the remembrance and vision of myself as someone who sews... (haha)
ReplyDeleteOh, you silly! But yes - too much of that can make you feel like you've sewn something yourself! It's weird. But you don't need to do it anymore - and you are quite busy with other things, it seems. :)
DeleteWe have rabbits! Lots of them. I think of you, so, yes, I am not surprised to see your picture. ❤️
