I am so close to finishing Sissy's coat, but the hem kicking my butt! The lining fits beautifully in the coat- but I just can't give it a decent hemming! As it has been unseasonably warm, I have not been too inspired to finish the darned thing. I have already taken the hem out at least 3 times and have shortened it a bit as well. My goal is to finish it by next week. I just need to swallow a big dose of patience and work it out! Then all that will be left are the sleeves and the buttons/buttonholes. I think I am going to do covered buttons.
I mentioned in my last post I have another project in the works. It is a cute little party dress, I really hope the fabric is as cute as it looks online...

I am going to make View C- though I may omit the ribbon if I can't find something I like. I may shorten it a bit as well, but not too much. While I wait on the fabric, I will work on the muslin. And guess what? I actually HAVE real unbleached muslin in my stash! I thought I only had a small piece, but it turns out I have about 3 yards worth. I can't even tell you how long I have had it- it probably came from Woolworths or Newburys (anyone remember those stores?)
Note to self- don't look at your order history for Fabric.com. I can't believe I have spent that MUCH money! *faints*
