Yes, I thought the zipper issue was kind of difficult. The
professional seamstress who made the bias dress I wore to my sister's
wedding never got that zipper right, though she tried 3 times. Her
poor slave helper had to keep ripping it out. Eventually we just ran
out of time and I had to wear it with the little end pointing out of my
butt. Pretty awful for $300 worth of 4-ply silk.

Oy, what time is it?

Pora

After 2 pm here and I've got a client coming at 4:30 and I'm just starting on her bodice toile...

There's time - it's only a boned wedding dress bodice toile, after all!



DONE! I think the sewing machine has melted!

Cut and sewn: just need to take some pix and pop the boning in the channels...
