Internet break - progress report

(Not that I was really away from the web, I was just passively watching past seasons of Project Runway while handsewing and handsewing and... now I've got a headache again. Ugh.

I think I can pull it through, at least the dress. I'm not sure I like it, though, which might be annoying considering I want to make my wedding dress after this pattern.

I found a second petticoat that even solves a tiny issue I had in the back, solved the pouffing problem above the breasts, added closures that I won't show you guys or you might want to kill me. I'm about to embark in new collar and hemming adventures, and I think I'm going to tweak the front silk overlay a bit more under the waist.

Then it's on to the coat and hat. Then to the justeaucorps mockup, if I have the time.

Inbetween, I need to shop for a few things, have an appointment with our attorney about the house (buying something with your boyfriend as opposed to with yur husband makes things sooo much more complicated... holy cow...), pack, cook dinner, eat, cuddle the HG, get the darn train tickets, take care of the laundry.

2:26 AM Edit : the hem is marked and I'm too scared to cut and sew it tonight, the overlay is tweaked, and the hat is where it can dry best while holding its shape, aka on my head. Moving on to the mantle !

I think I forgot sleep.

Feeling the love

Apart form a fex stitches here and there (the ones I keep for the train, because a girl's gotta have something to keep her hand busy while travelling... or because I'm runnign short on time maybe ?), the dress is done ! I've taken it in a tad, and it fits much better now, and it's hemmed, and I love it. And I'm glad the holiday season is over because it has a slight Christmas tree feeling to it. But I like it nonetheless.
