Don't you hate it when you seem to be on a roll

and then discover that you WERE on a roll...

only it was downhill in the wrong direction?

 

Well, I did that.

There I was happily going along, thinking I was doing so well (being a little puffed up),

only to discover, when I went to turn the right sides out of the Regency bodice,

that I had somehow 'seen' a direction that wasn't there

and I sewed something together that wasn't supposed to be sewn together!

And I had been making sure that it was sewn together good, too,

by backstitching here and there, especially on the other seams...

A Scripture came to mind...

"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." ~  Proverbs 16:18

 

 

Hello seam ripper...

One of those tools that you love to hate and hate to love.

We spent quite some time together, the seam ripper and I,

and were able to become well aquainted after such a long time of being apart.

 

And, at last, we accomplished the goal at hand.

It was then time to read the directions slowly and more fully

and to continue sewing the bodice together in the correct places.

 

 

Sew, I continued on...

 

It doesn't seam like much, but here is what I was able to get finished...

 

 

This is the view of the back with the bodice and the lining sewn together.

 

 

 

This is the front of the bodice

 

 

 

Here is a view of the bodice, open from the back.

 

 

We're now another step closer to the finished product!

And I was able to practice patience and smiling

as the seam ripper and I did some 'catching up'.
