My mom (who you know as Sew There Tammy) is sewing this up for me as we speak. She lets me do some of the easy stuff, but let's face it: the only things I know how to do are regular stitch and back stitch. And even those not so much, because I forgot to put the foot down yesterday while making the muslin and things got a bit too "interesting" for my liking. I thought I had broken her machine, but that shows just how little I know about how the thing works.
I helped cut out the pattern pieces, but pretty much that's the extent of my contribution. Well, that and my obligation to try it on every 5 minutes when my mom decides once again that there is absolutely no way that this will fit over my gigantic head.
So here's what she's making: Ottobre Woman 05-2008-01 "Simple-yet-elegant pintuck dress" size 40
I got to go shopping in mom's fabric closet, and I picked out the black fabric. To make it a little different, I opted for green thread, which you can see in the top picture because it looks like white. And there is a belt-thing that will rope the whole dress in. Don't worry. It's going to be OK.
