You gave up internet for Lent? Yikes that must have been hard Welcome back

I don't seem to be able to get the motivation together to start sewing at the moment. The last thing I made was a bag for my mum's birthday back in February.

Ok Sara, I've added you to the Member's list, welcome to the club, nice to have you!

Remeber members, if you need to update the first page with projects and things you're working on, please tell me!

Elanor: Yup, I gave internet up, it was hard but w/e i'm back!

Lothril: I'm not sure if I've heard the story....hmmmm

EDIT:
Here are some pictures of my dress:

The story... The pattern I used called for some pieces to be cut while the material was folded, and others not. After being extrememly careful, I managed to cut one upside down. (one of the pieces labeled 2) Then, I cut the other one. It was late, so I left it pinned to the pattern, folded it up carefully, and put everything away. Later, when I went to pin the dress together, I unpinned piece 2, put the pattern piece away, went to pin it, and the piece I unpinned was gone. Vanished. Not to be found again, even unto this day.

If that wasn't trauma enough, I went to go buy more material, and discovered no one carried it anymore. This was more than bad. Twas downright horrible! After frantic hunting, I gave up, and decided to cut another piece from the scrap material.

After several failed attempts to get the pattern right, so that I didn't have huge gaping holes in my dress, I managed to cut out the missing piece and be missing only a tiny corner.

You can only imagine my ecstatic jumps and screams of joy as I held up the piece in triumph and danced around the house. I was scared silly that I would have to abandon the whole thing and buy a dress. Thank Elbereth it worked out!

now the body is sewn together, complete with the upside down piece, and I am trying to figure out how to do the back and the sleeves.

Wish me luck!

Oh man! I have less than a week to get my dress done! And I haven't been able to work on it last week for I was out of town! NOOOOOO!

I bought a pattern for a Renaissance gown, it's so purty.

While I'm stuck trying to figure out what to do for my Requiem gown, I play on making this Renaissance Gown for the Four Kingdoms Renaissance Faire we have. It should be fun, I want to volunteer and be a noble lady, since the patttern is for the noble's dresses.

So could you please updated that? Just a renaissance gown.

Your dress is wonderful, Mrs. Gamgee! I love it.

I've had a problem with patterns too. When I was making my Elven gwon, I spilled water on several of my pattern pieces. Oh, the horror! So I rushed them dwonstairs, put them on a towel, and waited.

I also reipped part of my dress pattern off. the one for my requiem gown. I had already cut out he overdress, but I needed it for the underess. Now I'm stuck, because patrt of pattern piece #4 is ripped off. I need to tape it back together.

Mom did something to my black thread. I don't know what, but she bvorrowed it and I got it back and it was all screwy. I fixed it, but whatever she did to it is beyond me.

Lothril: Oh no! Why do you only have a week!? (probablly less now)

What pattern are you guys using for your Requiem dress? I have a Mccalls pattern, i have the link posted here somewhere

Ellethwen, can i see the pattern you're using for Renaissance gown? I love those styled dresses! And where is it that they have that fair, they dont have that here
Nothing exciting goes on in Florida

On the update would you like me to put that you're working on the Renaissance gown?

And thanks for the compliment, its greatly appreciated, that dress took me a long time, but it was made,fo course, with help from a freind (who had never made drsses before) but hes a lot more experienced in it than me, but it was alot of work, and sometimes i just felt like giving up. Guess the hardest part of the whole dress?
