Progress

Finally an update on THE DRESS. Today I was permitted to sew on end of the dress, I fucked it up of course and my mum had to unpick it and redo it but I didn't sew my finger and I think I have kinda figured out how to sew a straight line. I'll practice sewing straight lines tomorrow, maybe I'll get enough material for my ankara ring then........

*The plate with the measurements on the machine is where my eyes should be at all times
*It's not a race, slow down.
*The machine is not evil, it isn't trying to get you
*Keep the sides together at all times.

Anywhoooo, here's the dress. We're still working on it, this was the first fitting.

*The darts need to be repositioned
*We need to take in the area around my hip
* It needs to be hemmed
*The sleeves are too small

So tomorrow or Sunday, we'll work on that and by Monday (fingers, toes and intestines crossed) I'll put up the finished product.
