Fun mail

I got my new book in the mail! And now I want to make ALL the natural form things! ;)

Procrastination

I was kind of busy today so I didn't work on my bridesmaid dress this morning (although I probably could have if I wasn't so lazy) and figured I could work on it this evening after I got back from softball (which we actually won! Our team has 3 wins total now for the entire season. We're not very good...). However, I got a headache during the ball game and it hasn't gone away so I don't feel like working on the dress and am leaving it to tomorrow. So far the bodice front is attached to the backs. Tomorrow I will attach the skirt, add a waist tape, and do the zipper. That should make it try-on-able. Then I can make any fitting adjustments it needs. And then the next day I work on it will be straps and bias facing the neckline. Then hemming and handsewing down the facing.

I am feeling so unmotivated on this dress. I didn't even use a tape to stabilize the sweetheart neckline even though I did all the research to figure out how to do it. I just staystitched it instead. I think the taupe-y grey colour is just not very inspiring for me and I'd rather be working on other fun things for me. But I was just too darn cheap to buy another bridesmaid dress this year. Oh well. It'll be done next Monday. I'm determined!
