Speedbump...
I was working on the green polka dot dress last night and I got thisclose to finishing it when I realized I didn't have the right elastic and I'm trying to avoid JoAnn's until
a)I have a good list of all the fastenings I need for my next several projects so I don't have to run back and forth to the store and
b)I get paid because I am broke as joke right now.
So as it stands now the dress is without elastic, so it can't be hemmed properly and I can't decide if I need to move the buttons because I won't be able to tell what the finished bodice will look like. So here's its sad state...
Until I allow myself to go to the fabric store, I will be working on clothes either without fastenings or with buttons I already have. First up, inspired by Threads and Thoughts and Things I Love, I'm going to make a Sorbetto tank top from Colette patterns out of a gray sheet I have and maybe some pink broadcloth. Then we'll see where the wind takes me...

Write commentsI'm sure this dress is going to look lovely when it's done - those polka dots are wonderful!
ReplyCan't wait to see this dress when it's finished! And oh yay!! I'm planning on making the Sorbetto tank from Colette patterns too!
It seems so pretty, and I have a thrifted vintage bedsheet that I might use.. it is a thin cotton that seems cool enough for summer's heat!
ReplyThanks! I started working on the Sorbetto last night and it's so easy and cute!
