Back In Business
It has taken me a while to get back to work on my dress. I was unable to find silk organza locally and it is rather crucial to this project. I ordered some from Dharma Trading Company, online. It arrived yesterday and I am now able to proceed. Tonight I cut and marked my organza pieces. Tomorrow I'll be cutting the fashion fabric. Then there will be lots and lots of hand basting to do.

I am so glad that you are posting about this class. I signed up and have not done it yet. Interested to see how the process goes!
Dharma has such fun things!
I encourage you to jump in. This is some of the best money I ever spent. An incredible amount of information. I feel like my sewing skills are taking a giant leap. My dress may not be perfect when finished but it will be so much better than if I just did my usual "cut and sew".
I need to save up and buy a bolt of that organza. JoAnn Fabrics really should consider stocking some good basics for garment sewing. Silk organza is a "must have" if Dharma can sell wide width silk organza for under $7 per yard, why can't JoAnn's?
I'd love to keep my money local but there isn't much here that's quality. The more I learn, the more of a fabric snob I'm becoming.
