Hi thread! I came home from church, ate some lunch, cleaned up the mess from the grandgirls this weekend, played with Tinkerbelle, got sick, took a nap, woke up, ordered some body fashion tape from QVC, checked my eBay bid on some pearl earrings, read all today's posts on here and some elsewhere, and now I'm ready to go sew.
All the hard stuff is done; just the tedious hand work left now. It wouldn't have taken so long had the girls not been so diet crazy and I had to alter all but one of the dresses I made. I am not happy with my oldest grandaughter. I didn't say anything to her but she knows. She's 13 going on 30. She went on a diet and lost 20 pounds and she looks like a stick! She bought 3 in heels to wear with her dress and since she's already 5'10" she looks like a spaghetti noodle.
There is barely enough fabric at the hem with those heels to make a handkerchief hem. I had to take the top in 3 inches and I just removed the front panel in the skirt instead of taking it in evenly around. I can't believe her mother let her diet like that. I am really upset with her. She was thin to begin with and now she doesn't look good at all.
OK enough complaining. OK well maybe not - one more thing.
Move to next post please.......
