I had to recut one pattern (the back), but I had plenty of leftover fabric so I still have some extra in case I mess up.
The top is coming together quite well - I need to finish the raw edges and then insert the side zipper.
The skirt is giving me something to think about. I purposely cut it long so now I'm thinking:
-Do I want a floor length skirt?
-Do I want a slit to the knee?
-Do I want it short with a slit in the back?
-How do I make it fit my curves?
-Do I really want a form fitting dress when my tummy will be sticking out like I'm pregnant? (SIGH)
Hm.
Hmm, Hmm, Hmm.
We shall see how the skirt turns out. I'm also concerned with sewing the cowl on...but it will look so pretty that I have to give it a try. It will be off the shoulder, and then I have some beaded fringe that I'm making into a necklace - it's green, which matches the jacket I'm modifying. (Cutting the sleeves to gathered cap sleeves, taking in the sides)
Whew.
Lot of work. But hopefully it pays off and I can show off my creations on the 23rd!
