Striped wool dress

mandie_rwToday I hemmed the dress - being clever and trying it on over my petticoat to ensure I didn't make it too short, before actually hemming it. I have a bad habit of making petticoats and skirts that don't play nicely together.
And cut and sewed together flounce number one for the skirt. It may well end up being the only flounce, actually...the design in my head calls for three, but I'm going to be sensible this time. I'm going to put one flounce on, then finish the dress (sleeves!) and make the spencer, then go back to flounces two and three if I have time. I'm not entirely sure I will (they're each 300" long. *flop*), hence this ostensibly Sensible Plan.
Anyway, I'm in the process of turning over the top edge of the flounce to make a channel for a cord, so I can gather the flounce up on the cord. Seemed the least labor-intensive way to go about it. Also not hemming anything, because it's cut on the bias. :)
