Apr. 6th, 2021 11:16 amIs good. I mean, I can already tell that it would be even better if it was TWO weeks long, but, you know. Better than nothing.
I sewed for a good chunk of the day yesterday - I'm in Arlington so I schlepped all my sewing shit down here. Don't usually bring the sewing machine, but I'm not sewing a 1955 dress by hand, so schlepping machine it was. (Tom carried it in. It's heavy.) I'm planning to post on Instagram as I go; much more of a soundbite thing than in interesting here, I think. First one's here. I'll be hand-basting most of the seams and trying it on before actually sewing most of it for real - the waist and hip should be good at this size, but I'll have to fuss with the bust (there was no smaller size to cut, hurr hurr), hence the basting.
I shall update with my victory or defeat over this dress in a few days...
