I’ll keep this short. I am very tired! Only seven more dresses to go…
This has been an amazing experience. Never again will I look down on lowly alterations. It is challenging, and I am learning to use some of my cool machine feet, like the rolled hemmer. I haven’t used that in maybe 35 years?
I am working with fabrics I never ever use, tafetta, lace, chiffon, velvet, beads and sequined fabric. This is like a crash course in formal wear. I even had to dig out my needle board for pressing velvet. Mine is so old it has actual needles, not the velcro hook kind they sell now.
