I started sewing two years ago and meanwile I can’t imagine life without fabric, without patterns and sewing machine! I live in Switzerland, source of beautiful lace fabric ☺, near the Lake of Constance – and I simply wanted to say THANK YOU to you.<br />Thank you for sharing with the sewing community your beautiful projects.<br />Thank you for your meticulous way of working. I like this exact way of working, no matter wether it takes me a month (or more!) to finish a garment.<br />Thank you for keeping me motivated. To reconcile family life, professional life (I’m a teacher) with my sewing tasks isn’t always easy, but so rewarding! <br /><br />Simply thank you.<br /><br />Greeting from Switzerland<br />Enri<br />Enrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297569194675054252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-32569120758580135012016-03-24T17:11:16.699-05:002016-03-24T17:11:16.699-05:00Huh.

Initially I thought it might be something that had to be added during construction but now I know it's a pretty easy thing to add on after a garment is sewn. I have a perfect ivory ribbon in my stash.

Just a thought, but have you considered a waist stay to help support the weight of the skirt? That would eliminate much of the pulling of the bodice length and make the dress feel more secure and now is the time to put one in anyway. All you need is some petersham or grosgrain ribbon and two hook-and-eye sets. patsijeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362426384481772370noreply@blogger.com
