step two

I've been doing so much finishing lately, I wanted to get back to a project where I was still in that exciting starting phase. So I spent some time on dressy, my first sewing project. I last worked on dressy in sewing class on Thursday, where I managed to get through step one of the sewing directions: make darts. Well, with the help of a few of the Knitsmiths (who also do some sewing!), I made it all the way to step four! Here's the front of the bodice now with the front band attached. Next comes the front of the skirt and then she should start looking like a dress (I hope!).

Ooh, still stuck in winter and here's a breath of spring. Very pretty.

Ah, memories of sewing. Your dress piece takes me back to 1974 when I finally was able to start sewing on a real machine. 8th grade Home Ec. I loved sewing so much I practically sewed another that stood still long enough!
