Blue and Gold Florentine Renaissance Gown, part 6
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Too much real life to take care of. BUT, the holiday is over, my son starts back in school tomorrow, my husband is back to work tomorrow, the camping gear is all cleaned and tucked away, my house is tidy enough and I am ready to be sewing full time. I will have about 6 full hours each weekday while everyone is off doing their thing. This will be a time management challenge for me, but the hours are there for me to sew. I’m suddenly not so sure I can complete the dress before Saturday, but I’m going to try.
Yesterday all I managed to do on the dress is glance at it on my way to the computer to book my face.
Today all I managed was to serge the last open seams of the sleeves, mark where to sew pearls and then sew them on. Really it was about 8 pearls, so it was not an impressive feat. But, it’s done and I have two things that look like sleeves now. I was hoping to actually be done with them, but shoot, being a stay at home mom is really a busy busy busy profession and the work is never ending.
So, in a supreme effort to be time management savvy, I really need to map out this dress with a big ol’ daily list, and then work my ass off to get it done. I wish I could hire someone to be my whip cracker. Just stand in my sewing room with an actual whip, and snap it at me any time I veer toward the computer or the exit. Surely someone would like that job. I will pay you in homemade cookies.
