I like darts

I do enjoy a good dart. And here are some that I just made: elizabeth III has darts on front back and the arms (did I mention that I like darts?) and the bodice for the summer dress that I'm sewing (my first sewing project!) also has darts. It's not so easy to see but it ends at a little point on the bottom edge. This is the same piece that I posted last week with the pattern outline pinned to the fabric. Anyway, the darts were all I managed to do in sewing class last night. That was mostly because the next step looked complicated. Interfacing was involved. That's right, more ironing!

The darts really make E III look very classy and feminine. I think you should use this sweater as an excuse for having a romantic evening out.

Hi Alison, I was looking for pictures of Alice Starmore's Cromarty sweater and came across a picture of Elizabeth I in progress and though of your Elizabeth III. Leigh
