two posts in one night
Aug. 31st, 2013 09:11 pmSorry I've been so quiet lately, my new job is just exhausting as it's all so new and requires so much thinking, and add to that that I'm still at my old job...well Robin's mostly a pile of mush in off time. However this week I've tried to do a little bit of sewing every day, and that's my goal. Touch the sewing every day at least once.
I've been working on the CBL Dress. I've put down the kick pleat, mostly because I have ADHD and started working on the rhombus shapes around the skirt hem.
I've got them all cut out and I thought I'd made enough ruffles to go around all of them but it doesn't appear that I did. Not the end of the world as I just serged the ruffles. I'm still feeling iffy on them. I wonder if I should back them with something stiffer, but in the plate they don't seem to be perfectly flat.

Thoughts? Yes I realize I overlapped them on the wrong side, I'll fix it when I sew them to the dress :-p
