Clip Tuck and Tension

The dress pattern I bought needs a lot of adjustments. It is too big and too long. Casey makes her own patterns. So does Taru. Maybe I should too?

I began with the bodice of the dress. Poor Grandma modeled patiently while I pinned and poked to try get it to fit. Maybe I should get one of those dress forms? I think Grandma is getting tired of it all.

I had half the top sewn before I realized the bobbin thread was going loopy. Well, don't you know, right there in the instruction book that came with my machine, it showed there was a dial on top to control the tension! Sometimes, most times, it's good to read ALL of the instructions!

Maybe tomorrow I'll have something put together that looks a little better?


I'm going to bed now. It's too dark to sew anyway.
