Sew Manic!

Well, my redo of my dress for the upcoming wedding (not my wedding) is coming along!  I spent yesterday's lunch organizing the mounds of fabric, notions and general sewing stuff on my sewing tables in my bedroom.

Got several things taken out to my stash in my office... which now needs to get organized, but that's not for now...

I actually turned ON the sewing machine and iron last night!!!  It's a princess seam dress, so I did 4 bust areas last night.   Two on the fabric and two on the lining and sewed those two together.

Forgot to put the slit in the front, so the seam ripper will need to come into play this weekend...

So the front of the dress is mostly done!  I don't suppose I could just duck tape the front on my front and just stand against a wall, do you?  Probably not...

Items to complete on it.

1) shoulder things.
2) back
3) zipper - which I need to pull out from the first version...  JoAnns didn't have the one I wanted.
4) hem

Then stand back and wonder what else I could do to make it look jazzier!  And wonder if I can do a binding on my waist area instead of more salads...

The Shantung silk fabric that I purchased this time, is less drapey than the earlier version of this dress that I did in a linen-like poly.  BUT it was more expensive!  So it should look better when done, right??

right???

Looking forward to more sewing tomorrow!
