Had a bit of a setback with my sewing plans, and couldn't sew at all at the weekend due to agonising back/pelvic pain. I used hard drugs in the end (Naproxen), and by lunchtime Sunday, I was able to stand for long enough to make good progress.
These dresses look a bit removed from Marina Brumpton's pattern, but I'm pleased with the way they are turning out. I sewed my first sequins on, and I'm thinking about finishing touches, so it's looking good.
The drugs took their toll though, and I had quite a bit of unpicking to do. I managed to twist the sleeve when I put it in, then the closure placket developed a life of its own. I made the placket quite wide so that I can use two rows of Kam snaps (DGD hasn't been very forthcoming with measurements) in case I need the adjustment.
I'm sure the dresses will make for a nice Christmas photo, but I will not be sad to see the back of this horrible fabric though!
I was worrying a bit about Theo's costume, as I don't think I'll have much time to make him an outfit, but look at what I've ordered for him!
