Faces of Squirrels

 Maddy tried on "the dress" several times over the course of the weekend.  I got NO time to sew on Saturday and I'll tell you about that tomorrow...  But Friday night and Sunday were my times to get it done! 

And of course, it's not done yet....

 

I got the lining and zipper in (not in yet for these pictures), but in the process of doing that, I found that I need to rip out the back seam and straighten it a little underneath the zipper. 

Dang!  I was feeling too confident...


Ignore the red bra straps...Those are not in the final design of the dress...


So outside of the back seam and hem, that I need to cut 6 inches off of... (she's short), oh and some buttons!  Then I'll be done.

Already looking at my next project!!!  It'll be to whip this house into shape for the graduation party!  The invites have already started being delivered, so there's no backing out now!  


I've identified the problem areas and the family shivers in fear...

It's taken me a while to figure out what's wrong with your model pictures...it's that your teenager is smiling and seems to like you. I never see that anywhere!! LOL

So are you calling Maddy a squirrel? Either way, she looks great in the dress, can't wait to see pictures of the big day.
When is her graduation? Seems like you have a lot of snow days to make up.
