Requiem Gown updateYes - I AM still working on it! Progress has been interrupted and halted for various reasons, but slowly - a little bit at a time I HAVE been moving forward!I finally had a 'good' day on Sunday - I was able to finally get up the nerve to tackle the neckline of the gown. This involved attaching two different fabrics - both very sheer and quite delicate - together - and for anyone who sews - necklines - curved necklines especially - are NEVER an easy task. While I can't show you pictures of the steps involved - or how many false starts I had - just let us say - I had NO extra fabric by the time I was able to make it all come together. I am more than a little self satisfied with the results:   Perhaps I "ought" to work on the lining for the gown next - in terms of logic..... BUT - I decided that it would be more fun to move on to creating the lower sleeves. I laundered the 6 yards of silk jacquard fabric yesterday. It hung to dry overnight in my closet and today I pressed it. Tomorrow I may have time to lay out the pattern - to see the best fit and the grain I want to lay it out on.    Gee - it is really starting to look like a dress!!! |
