Enjoyed reading your sewing/thought process of construction and have to say, when I read the facing 'despair', I totally 'got' what you were saying and feeling. Am finding, as I'm sewing more too, I am sewing through more of the areas that are outside my comfort zone, instead of stopping and waiting for the elusive 'future'. Enjoy your upcoming outing!!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202417242000637922.post-48946621221840407222014-08-14T21:28:53.925-07:002014-08-14T21:28:53.925-07:00Lovely dress looks great on you.

You have confirmed what I have learned this year that rather than the pattern size and measurements on the envelope you need to measure the actual pattern and take account of the ease you prefer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06612604600950412249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202417242000637922.post-80172051938458581582014-08-14T16:49:18.427-07:002014-08-14T16:49:18.427-07:00You did a great job on fit and finish.
