Madrigal dress: Sleeves
Nov. 27th, 2009 11:39 pmAs predicted, I sewed nothing on Thanksgiving, but I did sew today (after watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off on television for the 500th time).
And sleeves are actually the devil, I have decided. I think I should never make anything with sleeves ever, ever again. The only thing that prevented me from attempting to murder this dress and its sleeves was the fact that I retained enough sanity to know that you can't murder inanimate objects. I had to rip out and re-sew the sleeves so many times, I lost count. Believe me, I was cursing those things out as only a frustrated seamstress can do.
The lower part of the sleeve, the green linen, mostly behaved, except for when one sleeve fit and one didn't, even though they're both the same size. I made it fit, dammit.
Not the most exciting thing I've ever made, I know...Almost done, though! (See, I can make things quickly. When I have to.) Mom just has to figure out what shoes she's going to wear so I can hem the thing tomorrow, and then it will be done.
