As I sit here waiting for the babies to arrive this morning, I'd like to give a progress report. Slip #2 and panties #4 on Simplicity 3296 are all cut out, and I made it to Joanns to buy more organza.
I'm going to get the front skirt of the pinafore recut today. It should be interesting, considering that I somehow managed to lose the front skirt piece. I'll have to use one of the netting underskirts as a template and subtract an inch. I need to get started on the embroidery and do the double needle pintuck panel. I also decided what lace collar to use from my stash, but I have yet to hunt down the lace to trim the netting underskirts with. It's in the Black Hole. I hate trying to find anything in there. But my spool of approximately 600 yards of lace is in there because I haven't used any of it since sometime in December.
I switched my serger over to rolled hem, because almost every part of the underskirt needs to have a rolled hem, as does the ruffle on the slip's skirt before I add the lace over top of it. I also transferred the dart markings to the pattern pieces for the dress bodice and lining and the slip bodice and lining. All in all, I'm almost really-truly ready to start sewing. Would y'all like to see how I transfer markings? I use this method for tucks and pleats, too!
