    Have put together the skirt panels and put on the waistband.

    @sinituulia do you leave excess material in the waistband to be able to let it out, even if it causes some bulk, or do you have to remake the waistband? (which is much less of an issue than having to remake the whole skirt, anyway)edit: there was already an answer in the next post :D

    Thinking about this old book I read, "How to make over old dresses" by Augusta Prescott, 1892.

    And, at the end, quite sweet despite the patina of the era: "WHEN you have completed your dress, it may not be perfect in every respect, but if you have been careful, it will surely be very nice, and something of which you may be very proud, because it represents much care and thought.Finish it well to the last loop, and sew in the dress shields. Take out the basting threads, be sure that the seams are finished, and that it is all in “‘apple-pie order.”Don’t point out to people any defects that may exist.Do not lift up the overskirt to show that the underskirt is pieced down with goods of a different kind.Do not show that the under-arm pieces are faded.Do not tell anybody that the full front covers buttonholes that are torn out.Do not say that the beautiful bias band around the bottom of the skirt hides a ghastly muslin gap. --"

    Second ever whip stitch repair in my life isn't so bad. Clearly not seamstress-perfect, but I'm relatively pleased. #VisibleRepair #repair #sewing

    So nice, I made it twice. It’s almost identical to the first one, but this one has a very different lace trim. With over 50 pieces, this jacket is not an easy project. Black is the hardest color to sew becuase it’s the hardest to see. One of the hardest parts was keeping Kepler’s white dog hair off of it. #Sewing
