With me working pretty much
every day last week, I had no time for blogging, and definitely no time for
sewing. However, Saturday after I had spent the day paving, I snuck in some me time Saturday night once Jarvis was in bed. (Justin photographed Soundwave all
day/night Saturday. So I had the house to myself.)
Last week I cut the dress
out. First off I sat down and read the instructions... hmm not much
help/instructions, so it all was a bit of a guess. Miss 1970 proved to be a
tricky woman, not sure if it was over-tiredness or she is just a difficult
woman? My biggest challenge was, once I basted the pieces together
to check the fit, I realised then a 1970s size 12 was massive on me and I
needed to take at least five centimetres off both sides. Which then bought the
challenge of re-working the darts.
Pinning on yourself is no
easy task, especially after I had spent the day paving and my back and arms
muscles felt like jelly. But now, it seems to fit really well. I am super
excited for the next step of attaching the skirt and skirt underlay!
Two more naps and I may get
this dress done. I just have to decide if I am going to use bias binding on the
hem as well?
