Halfway?

I have an old sewing book that used to belong to my grandmother that states that a dress takes seven hours to make. An hour to cut out the fabric, two hours for basting, an hour for sewing, an hour for fitting and sewing and the last hour for finishing and tidying up.

I seriously suspect none of those sewists had my kids or my sore throat.

No matter! Today I'm sewing up the dress. I am focused and determined.

That I'm only halfway through the pattern doesn't count.

Seven days

So, I'm going out to a birthday party next Saturday afternoon and the dress code is tea length dresses and pearls. While I do have a suitable dress already, I thought I'd push myself.

I'm going to make this dress...

...in this fabric...

...by next weekend.

I'm sure it can be done. Time to get cutting!
