KCWC--Day 4
I've spent several hours today adjusting patterns. Now the waistlines of the pinafores should fall in the same place as the waistlines on the dresses. I also spent two more hours locating the lace the pinafore will be trimmed with and attempting to find the entredeux that is supposed to run up the bodice around the shoulder ruffles and around the skirt. Couldn't find it, so I ordered more... which will set me back and make it so this won't be completed this week. I'll do all I can, and then move on to the crinolines. Grace needs the next size up, and Nicole outgrew hers a long time ago. I didn't bother to make another for her because she hasn't had the full-skirted dresses that need one underneath! But, well, this is a 50s base pattern and you need one to get the necessary fluff. I've learned a few things since last year, like the fact that I should line the whole thing to prevent "ticklies" as well as "itchies"!
