This dress is haunted

[robinsnest]

It simply MUST Have it out for me.  I got the old sleeve off, made a mock up sleeve, and got myself all trussed up to check the fit. In the process of pinning the bodice to my stays I caught my thumb on the pin that was holding the apron front in the right place at my waist and took a HUGE gouge out of my thumb. It gushed more blood than I think any sewing injury I've ever had....

So my awesome upstairs neighbor came down and fit my sleeve for me while I help my thumb in toilet paper..and now I have it all bandaged up and it's throbbing. Perhaps I'll make new sleeves tomorrow morning. *sigh* 

Anyone know how to preform a dress exorcism?

suuuuuuure you sent it after me! ;-)

I know I can, there isn't much, but I'll probably do it in the morning when hopefully my thumb isn't bleeding through a band-aid.

I hope the neighbour was able to deal with the fit issues and that this will be the end of the woes for this project.
you can do it, I know you can. set your mind to getting it done first thing in the morning.
