Sewing

[frualeydis]

Yesterday I started on a new wool skirt, checked in grey and burgundy, with a sort of 30s-shape - long and wider at the hem than at the knees. Unfortunately I have neither lining nor zipper at home, so that will have to wait until Monday. I also started hand sewing a Sture shirt and it's coming along nicely, though the sleeve are a little on the tight side.
Since I'm thrilled to have my sewing machine back and recently bought some 60s-70s fabric from a swedish auction site I also started on another house dress; this time wrapped over in front. I don't think that it would like nice with bias tape like my other house dresses so I'm hand hemming all of it; all around the circle skirt and front sides and neck. I wonder when it will be finished, but I'm hemming while watching the olympics tonight. Tomorrow I will add ties and pockets.

That would make a nice party dress. It's very flattering on you. I love the fabric. Gorgeous colors.

I am getting better at making paper patterns before sewing the pieces together so it will be easy to make or dresses like this.

Even if you weren't wearing it, it would still look good.

With you wearing it, we'll, it looks so much better.

Thanks. Especially with my hair messy and looking really tired from a cold ;)
