chocolatepotPinned 6582's darts this evening! That's easily my least favorite sewing step, so I was glad to get it done. Second least favorite is gathering, which I'm doing by hand from now on as the tension on my machine is so tight that it's next to impossible.
Vintage Simplicity 1749 came today - it turns out it's actually got a side zipper instead of being a functional shirtdress, so I'm going to do a little fiddling and it shouldn't be too hard. (The woman I bought it from described it as a "classic housedress" so I assumed it was made to go on more simply.)
I am thisclose to cutting all my hair off into a bob. I really love how that soft, dead follicle product feels down my back ... but I always love it when it's short, too! Today it just would not stay up in my big hairpin, the bun kept sliding down, and while my reasoning for not cutting it is generally "I like being able to put it up," if I can't actually put it up then what's the point?
