DSCF6716and also the sleeve-seams

DSCF6717sewed all pinned seams and ironed the seam allowances apart

DSCF6718then turned the sleeve right side out and pinned it into the bodice, wrong side out

  1. It looks really good at this stage. I am looking forward to seeing the remaining steps and the finished project. I should be back to sewing by the end of this week–more dress making :).

      • 🙂 This dress is going to be more flowing. I like pencil skirt inspired designs, but I wanted to do something softer and wearable for cello practices. I plan to make it out of the red fabric, but I couldn’t find the faux white fir I wanted to trim it with so I’m thinking of other options. Once the puzzle is officially off the table I’m going to grab the table before another puzzle goes on it.

I love to read your comments
