In which I got something done

I continued work on my LM trained hoop bustle. It needed a front panel over the calves/knees to keep the skirts from falling into the open front and looking weird. I made a panel and covered it with 4 rows of white cotton ruffles. Should work :)



Then I actually got a little bit of work done on the VBS. Finished serging all the edges, put in the darts (yeah yeah, it's Butterick), made and applied the neck facing, sewed front to back, and started on the sleeves. I'd love to actually get it finished today.

I like how you made the front panel to keep your dress from creeping in, excellent idea!

WOW! I really want to make that one. Been on my to-do list for a while :) Looks fabulous in the stripeys!
