Frustrating day!

I haven't managed to do one single thing right on my dress today. Very frustrating, as this means that I have to take all the pieces apart and redo the whole freaking thing! Do I even have to mention that this means I will not be ready in time for the wedding in less than a week? So many hours for nothing!



It's all wrong!

Working on that dress...

I have been working on my blue velvet dress today. It takes so much time! It will hopefully be worth it. And I really hope it'll be done in time for my friend's wedding in less than two weeks.







Working with velvet is hard. It's not exactly the most co-operative fabric ever. I hope I've managed to cut out the pieces correctly.

I'm currently stay-stitching, as you can see from the last photo...

Pattern cutting.

In my old Norwegian blog I talked about making a new dress. I found the pattern to use and bought some wonderful new fabric.

I am now one step closer to having a new dress! A little while ago my friend Kara helped me cut the pattern. She measuerd me and helped adjust the pattern before cutting it out.



Working on adjusting the pattern...


Adjusting and cutting out the pattern actually took longer than I had thought. But at least it's done now. :D



Here I am cutting the pattern out!


The dress is supposed to be done by 26 May this year, meaning I should start sewing soon! I know I should probably make a test dress first, but I honestly don't know if I have the time... I'm a busy girl!
