Sew Colette - Sewing the final dress

22 comments


It's time to get started on the final version of the Pastille dress! Have you all perfected your muslins? I wouldn't say that mine is perfect, but it has improved from the last one I showed you.


I keep being hard on myself for not having a perfect fit, which is so crazy! Honestly, who learns something new and starts out being perfect?!?! It takes time and practice to get to that level. All I can hope for is to improve and learn new skills with each project, which I am doing. I am now one step closer to becoming better at fitting clothing! :)


On Sunday I cut out the fabric for the "real" dress and last night I started sewing. I didn't get too far, just to the facings on the arms, but I am pleased with how everything looks so far. Hopefully tonight I will make more progress, as my sister and future brother in law are going to be in town all weekend!

How are all of you doing so far? Are you ready for the big reveal next Wednesday?
