And now back to our regularly scheduled programming

First of all, thank you guys SOO much for the well wishes!!  My husband and I are feeling better and Peanut is almost there.  He's so cute - even though he's sick he's still in the best of spirits!  It was a long week with little sleep and lots of coddling (for both my son and husband :) ) but I did manage to get some work done on my Swing dress!!  My muslin is almost done although I still need to do a bit of adjusting.


All the pieces are cut out and up on the couch away from Peanut's grasp

The hardest part was the shoulder yoke but Casey posted 
a great tutorial so I finally figured it out!

The bust is too big and I have to take the hem up 
A LOT but so far so good...

All I have to do now is add the sleeves and make my adjustments 
and then I can start cutting my fabric!

    This is totally awesome! You are making me think I could never learn how to sew. Very pretty!
    Take care of yourself.

    So far so good. I bought a sewing machine last Christmas that I have yet to use. You've inspired me to try something this weekend.

    Can't wait to see the finished product! Yeah, I should start with a muslin first as there are always those areas that just don't fit. I'm so lazy though.....

    My MIL bought me a sewing machine one year and I haven't used it. I need to take a sewing class because I really would love to learn! Can't wait to see the finished dress!
