Ok, yes, I know I am crazy. So, next Saturday my family, all ten of us, leave for Charleston, SC for an awesome week of vacation. I'm soooooo excited because we really haven't had a REAL beach vacation for a really long time. And I really wanted a couple new outfits to wear. I found this really cute pattern, I absolutely LOVE it. Butterick Retro Wrap Dress I got my fabric yesterday, and so now I set off to sew at least one dress from this pattern before we leave. I'm going to try for two though. We'll see how this goes...........
And I'm working on my graduation dress. I'm smocking the whole skirt. The hardest part we placing the guide dots for the smocking, but once I figured that out, it's going a lot faster. And I've already smocked one of the panels!!!!! It's looking so awesome. I'm using pink embroidery thread (to match the pink roses on the cream brocade) and then beading it. Once I finish that, I have to sew the skirt to the bodice, hem it and the lining, put in the zipper, and then sew the sash which is made of a lighter pink taffeta. It's not going to take too much longer!!!!
I'll post pictures next time.
