dress in a week...

How do I ALWAYS do this to myself. The Poe picnic is in a week and I have....ahem...not much to show for it. I did a second mock up yesterday and was very pleased with my pattern. This morning I transferred it to a final pattern (go me i usually cut off the mock up and don't have a record) and cut out the bodice and sleeves from silk and cotton lining...then I sat and starred at it for a while, took a nap, generally was a waste of oxygen....I'm kinda not sure how I'm going to finish this dress in a week? I mean it's not THAT complicated and I'm not working Monday, Thursday, Friday but still...



So far tonight I have the darts sewn in the lining and the boning channels sewn in them. I marked all the lines for hand gathering. There are 20 total...I should really really start that....

My goal for tomorrow is Finish all the gathering, get the side panels attached to the bodice and the side seams sewn. Someone poke me to be productive....still very annoyed at my own incapability of productivity.
