dance costumes almost done

[elizabeth_mn]

Well, since Crewel Day last week, I've been working on nothing but dance costumes.  St. Pat's is rapidly approaching and I want to deliver the costumes this Sunday.  I think I have about 5 or 6 hours of finishing work to do.

I eked one dress out of the very, very last of the double gerogette.  I had to piece one sleeve from scraps.  I'm glad this fabric is done.  It is very comfortable to wear and drapes beautifully, but it is so wiggly and spongy and difficult to sew.  Plus it snags like crazy and everybody's damp sweaty spots show up very dark.  Making 12 dresses from it was a learning experience.

So now the georgette dress is done but for the tie cord, and then it's smooth sailing because all the other pieces are in lovely, stable silk dupioni.
