Chop, Chop, Pin, Pin, Sew, Sew!

Chop, Chop!

Cutting up the fabric had my heart in flutters as there was no going back.

I re-checked and double checked that fabric was right/wrong side up, pattern and grain line facing the correct direction, pattern was on or not on the fold and so on.....

Finally I braved the scissors and I did it! It was quite a sense of relief when nothing major went wrong- so I continued to cut the lining and interfacing required.

Pin, Pin, Sew, Sew!

So the tedious and boring bit aside- time to start building this dress.

Starting with the front of the bodice; I did the required ‘Stay Stitch’ along the top, then pinned the sides of the bodice and sewed the seam. I then continued to pin the 2 middle and side section of the bodice and sewed the centre seam.

Onto to the back and rear side section- (similar process to the front) applied ‘Stay Stitch’ along the top, pinned and sewed seam of rear side sections.

Front and back of the bodice is complete- well sort of they still need to be sewn together via the side sections.

As I only have 2 hours during the day (while toddler forage has her nap), my sewing projects regularly get interrupted, so until next time.........
