One large coffee later...

I'm having fun and enjoying the project but realistically it might not get done.
I can handle that. No tears this time like over my last Halloween costume.

I think my problem is that I'm trying to make it too symmetrical and spending a lot of time on little things. I made a pretty solid muslin dress but now I have to go through the same process with the real thing. The fabric will be more forgiving but it will also snag more easily. I have enough for two attempts.

The books I got last night were of little help. Neither was a good reference guide on sleeves or collars and I didn't have the patience to read the full tutorial.

Taking a work break for a little bit then I'm back at it tonight!
