- Bought myself a Lady Valet dummy
- Set up dummy and padded it to resemble me ( a highly traumatic experience I'm not ready to blog about!)
- Fiddled with New Look 6802 to fit it to me. I think its about ok apart from the length. I've done a FBA (first one!), made the whole thing bigger as I just can't seem to stop eating atm!
What I still need to do
- Check the sleeves, hopefully they will be ok
- Make a muslin especially as I've made so many changes although I'm not sure about this as I would normally use calico but this is for a knit pattern so shouldn't it be done in a knit? Any ideas?
- Make the bloody thing!
Whats stopping me doing all this......
My living room atm
And the rest of my house looks like.....
so once my decorating finishes then I will be back to the sewing.... promise!
Ahh DIY... great when finished, a right pain a le derriere during though. Good luck hun :)!
ReplyDeleteYes, we just did out living room up before Christmas, I am lucky though and have the spare bedroom set up as my craft room. I would love one of those lady valets but they are SO expensive. One day ....
ReplyDeleteLouise I posted this on the comments of my blog but I didn't know if you'd read it:
ReplyDelete@Louise Yes I did! Personally i think I should have bought the purple! I've been here about a year, Whereabouts are you? Perhaps we should meet up for a coffee, It would be great to meet someone in the area who loves sewing!
