A Little Wedding Work...

Just spent four hours sewing on a corset kit to my aunt's wedding dress in order for daughter #1 to wear for her wedding. It was supposed to take 20 minutes. I'd like to know for who... Now I know why I don't create art with stitchery. I am purely a means to the end person with sewing. I read a pattern and if it is too long, I find ways to make it short... I was so afraid to ruin the gown. I took the buttons off first and put them in a ziploc.

Then I sewed in the loop tape on the boning. Don't ask. I had to google it all. The needle kept falling out of the machine and then after I finally got it all in, I realized i had caught up some of the skirt in the loop tape. It was not a happy thing.But now it's all done and I'm free to play once more...
