Lessons learned so far

Underlining/facing in white works better with a white background print. On the back bodice, you can see some pattern shadow from the facing.


Lining up the print would have been a good idea, or I could have used a straight gathered skirt. The flowers are on a curve with this pattern...


I'm actually looking forward to making this pattern again. With a different, less linear print. Now, I'm off to bed. Putting in a zipper after midnight is NEVER a good idea.

It looks great so far! I agree that trying to install a zipper after midnight is a bad idea! lol!

What does it mean to say you almost Frankensteined the facing? I've never heard that before, but since I'm a Frankenstein fan, I like it!!

Hey, West Ridge! (I'm from Franklin Park, my family is from Logan Square).

Thanks for visiting CountryGirl/CityGirl. I LOVE that you use Frankenstein as a verb - I am absolutely going to steal that...especially as it relates to my sewing and knitting!
