My creative space this week is all about the ruffles.
After some initial but short-lived joy at being finished the ruffles, I realised I had sewn them to the side piece not the back!!! I seriously hate making little mistakes..and this was a BIG one!
No unpicking this...it's too much!
So...back to the cutting out new ruffles and new side pieces, which required some extra fabric to be purchased.
Finally made it onto the rest of the dress...
and then to the other
One is stripey, stripey spot, spot spot.
And the other is spotty, spotty, stripe stripe stripe.
I've got spotties and stripes and holly hobbies, elastics, casings, straps and ties, unders and overs and ruffles galore (and uppers and downers! I feel a little Dr Zeuss.
It's been an epic battle, 9 days now! Today with a little luck and no more mistakes!! I hope to be finished the
Feliz Felizes Felizi Feliz' Felizeses dresses and finally on to other christmas gifts!
Hopefully my sister, but most importantly the twins will love their dresses.

ReplyDeleteThey look great & I'm sure the girls will love them.
Oh my! I am loving all your ruffles. So very very delightful... and your fabric choices are brilliant. Loving it all round. YAY!
ReplyDeleteSo frustrating to make big mistakes!! It looks like the end result will be worth it but perhaps you won't want to look at ruffles for a while after this.
ReplyDeleteHope all that water hasn't reached your place, it's one extreme to the other.
