Good & bad news.

I had my mom help me put together my dress all week. I'm telling you, the instructions that come with the dress don't help at all. I try & try to read them but I just don't understand. It's like their in Hebrew or somehting. But with a little help from my mom & looking at the pictures, we managed to put it together. BARELY. Yrma told me to try my best, & I did. I worked on it all night. I finally went to my mentor's house yesterday after work, & presented it to her. She said I had put it together all right & she was proud of me! UNTIL SHE LOOKED AT THE DETAILS.
The stitching was on the outside. & it's obviously supposed to be on the inside. I don't know why I didn't think of that earlier. So I had to take it all apart. Oh, but then, she looked at another dress she had sewn, & saw that the layer on top, is supposed to hang on over the dress, & not be sewn together. So I litterally had to take it ALL apart. except the bust part. just the skirt. So it wasn't THAT bad but it was three BIG pieces.
So I'm going to work on it tonight & tomorrow & have it done by the time we meet again.
Which is Thursday morning. AT SIX. Meaning I have to drive deep into Lenoir at quarter to 6. To work on it & maybe start sewing it on the machine.
I just want to get it done!
