OK so I went in to do final tweaks yesterday. One of my adolescent group - the brown suede stuff with white skirts was too short. Don't worry said all, it's only on for a few minutes. I've said the same thing myself but there for some reason it worried me - do you know what went through my head? Someone sitting in the audience, handy with a machine sees all these girlies with correct length skirts and one short one is going to think - Whoever made those wasn't paying much attention to detail.
So today I spent 2 hours unpicking the skirt and the 2 layers of fringe and moving it all down 3cms.
Also I had little one ( well, in age at least) who has put on 9cms round her waist, 5 on her hips and 4 on her bust since christmas - unpick, unpick, unpick. Sigh.
Thirdly need to turn a halter neck backless lycra dress into a high necked long sleeve job with no material apart from cutting up another dress to use the fabric, oh and dye a bit more fringe with my special builders' brew dye.
Lastly one more dress for our adult advanced group - a returner after illness, but can I put a zipper in the back of her top as she has a shoulder problem and can't lift her arm.
AND THEN IT IS ALL DONE.
