Thus it has happened. To me. And I'm so bummed! But at least it is very easily fixable. I was so very close to being done. Mom checked my work to make sure I was going aright with it. She said, "Your side seam is too short. It won't reach all the way around to the waistband."
Well, so I took out the seam and re-sewed. I was off still. Took out that huge long seam again (the one that runs down the skirt!) and re-sewed it. Another huge sigh and maybe a teeth grit; the thread had missed - just missed - the first folded seam. (I had folded the edge to prevent unraveling and was folding it over again to make a sturdier line for buttons.) I ripped it out again, and it's sitting on the sewing desk for tomorrow's fix.
I'm so close to being done it's not funny! I would have had half a dress to show you by now if I hadn't goofed.
my perfect square neckline stitches -- I'm excited b/c this was a hard part
side seam on the dress -- where the buttons will go; I don't think this is the goofed part
folding over a seam a bit to prevent unraveling
~ buttons are only on there to "show" you what it will look like! Not to that part yet ~
