Here it is. . .

my moment of zen.

Dream gown - more slow progress

Well, I only got a couple of hours to work on it Friday night. I've got the under layer pinned together and independent of the dress form, but was working on basting it and either pinning or basting in the zipper so that I could try it on and make sure it's fitting ok (especially since the under layer is fit a little more snuggly). I started pinning in the zipper and my fitting quickly went to hell, so I just fit it again and pinned it for now and left it alone for the rest of the weekend to do much needed cleaning and working on the dog door. I finished the dog door (and there was much rejoicing) and we're closer than ever on the cleaning, so I should get to work on the gown more this week. We're also not going out of town this weekend, so that means I've got a 3 day weekend to work on it (aiming to have cleaning done so I can enjoy a holiday weekend for once).

Pics of my progress, such as it is.

So. . .

We're not going anywhere this weekend. Or at least not near there. It's probably for the best.
