I’m in for this one.

I’m making Butterick 6412 with an adaption to the skirt. I want it longer which means that I can’t get the semi circular skirt out of the fabric, so I’m using the width and making box pleats.

It’s cut out and the fitting done, so I will be ploughing ahead, but got to finish my posh frock first.
Procrastination get behind me

I'm planning on doing some floral embroidery on a pair of trousers I'm making. Would that be enough for me to enter this contest?

I’d need to see an image or sketch. The flowers would need to be big/dominant enough to count as floral fabric.

I thought you were mulling over kanzashi, I didn’t read it as a question. Feel free to tag me if you have questions, an image or a sketch always helps as well.

Ahh, looks like a no then. The flowers would be concentrated at the waistband and the rest of the fabric would be plain. Oh well, next time  :D

My pattern has arrived and I don't like it and my dye still hasn't arrived so I don't know whether I like it or not.
It's going well so far.  :S
I'm looking forward to seeing what all you proper dressmakers are up to though.  8)
BTW I failed to mention that I may be making frog fastenings for this... -<

I had ideas for 2 garments but we will now be away for 10 days so probably only 1 will happen. Hope to cut out later today.

@wrenkins frogs aren't too bad to make, but I may wind up dropping out before I begin.

OH hit me with a June 8th date to get married.  Leaves me with a little over a month to get a dress made.
