Single Entity

This has been a weekend of awesome! In addition to doing lots of schoolwork, I have:

1) Made a dress (see left -- like the red one, but longer). As of Friday night, it was cut. As of Saturday night, it is 100% done, and all the seams are finished.








2) Finished a dress. Or, more accurately, saved a dress. What I had: a dress that I'd made that I really liked -- except for the HUGE clown-like sleeves, which resulted partially from seamstress error (dur, if I remove 3" of width from the garment, I need to remove it from the sleeve too!), and partially from the 1970's pattern (see left). Yes, those were some puffy sleeves. So I removed them and made it sleeveless. Success!







3) I also mended some jeans, and fixed my stapler. Sweet.

If I'd remembered that the shuttle into town ran on Saturday, not Sunday, I'd have the thread a lining for another dress, plus thread to attach some patches to a jacket. How did I manage to leave home with *no* white thread? It's an utter mystery.
