good news and bad news

good news: I think my method of making this skirt will work

bad news: I need twice as many rhombi *headdesk*

I'm starting to worry seriously that I'm going to run out of fabric. so the plan is to finish the skirt and get the bodice cut out and if I don't have enough left for the overskirt I'll find a dark blue that goes well enough and make it out of that. not my 1st choice but whatcha gonna do?

P.S. I need someone to be impressed that I worked 7:45-5:15 and then came home and sewed after dinner.

I'm very, very impressed! I want to be like you when I grow up. I haven't sewn a thing since I started school...

Just tell Kat you need to be poked...and poked you shall be! (but in the best nudge nudge way)

I'm very proud of you for putting on your Big Girl Sewing Pants and getting down to business! It sucks, but this is what it takes to get the project done. You're doing a great job and the dress is going to be wonderful!
