finally done!


It is only appropriate that a project that took so long to get going would take so long to finish! It took multiple drawings, very careful fittings and pinnings. Just when I thought it was safe I completely botched the front! Well, a few ideas and a couple days later ribbon came to the rescue. Now I have a nice new top with an awesome bow (thanks Marilyn!). For now it is pinned to the top cause I'm thinking I'll want to borrow it for other occasions. Also, in the heat of figuring things out a totally different project came to light that wasn't on the to-do list and yet is already completed!
Sweet new ribbon/lace cuff. It was a little difficult to do since for some reason my machine kept wanting to eat up the corners of the ribbon. It is cool though, its cute and completed! Now maybe I'll get back to things on the list!
