Christmas Dress

I think I mentioned a while back that I'm making a friend a dress for Christmas, as that's what she asked for. So I finally got all the materials together and have started it. Here's part of the bodice, with its lovely grey ribbon:


No major catastrophes (so far), but I basically have to do every step twice because my brain keeps wandering off.

Case in point:


I made the same bodice front twice. Luckily I figured it out before attaching the ribbon to the second one because that would've left holes in my ribbon!

See, proof that it's fixed now:


Unfortunately one mistake hasn't sufficed. I've made several others...and I'm afraid I might have left permanent holes in part of the fabric. But hopefully it'll all turn out right in the end! I need to finish it by this coming Thursday. Send me good sewing karma please! :)

I have managed to complete another Christmas embroidery project though.

Here's the Tree of Love:


And here's another project limping along:


Picnik is currently offering a free holiday greeting card option with their usual services and I couldn't resist.

I hope everyone is humming along with the holiday crafting!

  2. Thank you! I wish I could say that I designed it, but no, it's from Polka and Bloom. Her designs are just gorgeous; I seriously want to make up all of them.
