In the real Autumn Princess dress, you can see no darts or princess seams.
I'm trying to decide whether the gathering at the sides that naturally occurred is ok.... or if I should just cave in and do darts.
hmmm...

p.s. This is what my room looks like right now! You can see my assembled quilt top, a half assembled underbust corset, a pair of jeans half re-fashioned into a skirt, my books and patterns, pairs of fingerless gloves not yet assembled, and half of a Medival dress made from a sheet. The results? A very messy looking room.
Kind of reflects my mood at the moment. Lots of momentum, but scattered in many directions.
Ok, I am definitely jealous of your sewing skills! :) You are doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteI saw where you mentioned you need to work on sewing zippers. A super help is to use a gluestick to put them in place before sewing them in. Here is a link to a tutorial: http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/?p=87
Also, if you have a problem with your fabric bulging at the end of the zipper (when using a lighter fabric), use the gluestick method and some iron-on interfacing. It helped immensely when my friend and I were sewing the bridesmaids' skirts for my wedding. :)
I'm assuming you are homeschooled-- I'm a HS grad with 5 little siblings. :)
God bless,
