Whee!! All that is left is attaching the facing and hemming and my
dress for Easter is finished!!! Got started on the jacket last night as
well....back sewn together, side back attached to back, sleeves pretty
much sewn together (main sleeve attached on one side to undersleeve, and
ready to be finished....had a little trouble getting fabric to cooperate).

Then off to make a muslin for a wedding gown - not typical wedding gown,
but a retro-style kind of with pearls and jems draped across the back.
For the muslin, I will probably just use string or ribbon so that the
bride can see the effect.

Wheeee!! It is *SO* good to have my sewing room back again....fabric
bits all over the floor already, ironing board set up between cutting
and sewing tables, cabinets in place (except for wall cabinet) and
stocked again, shelving saet up in second closet....things ar emoving
right along. Have to get a design wall in place and then it will be
almost perfect :-)

Larisa, off to pay bills, go grocery shopping, then back to sewing

Good for you! I know this makes you feel happy, even if it will go under
that choir robe. Having your space back is a real plus in getting on with
it.
