Yesterday and today (tuesday and wednesday) I...
- cut the underskirt
- sewed the underskirt side-seams (french seams! I love them, so neat!)
- adjusted the waistline (my waist is about an inch higher up compared to an "average body")
- gathered the underskirt and skirt
- sewed the straps and side-seams of the bodice, and zigzagged those seams
- cut, zigzagged and "fusible-interfaced" the facings
- attached the facings to armholes and neckline
- understitched the facings
- catch-stitched the armhole facings by hand
So now I don't have that much left to do! Maybe I'll finish tomorrow :) Pinned the skirt and bodice to my dress-form to see what it will look like:
To do:
- catch-stitch neckline facing by hand
- cut both skirts open along the back (for zipper)
- attach skirt and underskirt to bodice (make sure to sew center back folds of bodice in place)
- finish that seam
- add waiststay
- prepare skirt for zipper: 1. Sew up the skirt till where zipper comes in; 2. Sew underskirt to skirt like here (use iron to press it flat).
- Insert hand picked zipper
