Well, as one would expect, the school holidays haven't been particularly productive yet as far as sewing goes! Still working through customs, slowly but surely.
I've started adapting the pattern for Rhiannon's communion/confirmation dress. Let's just say that it would have been easier to start with a kids pattern rather than to try to adjust an adult size one! But after a lot of effort, I think we now have a working pattern for the bodice of the dress, and the skirt should be easier than trying to take 'boob space' out of the top!
The kids managed to break the door of the dishwasher on the weekend, so it's now out of action for a week while we wait for the hinges to be ordered. Hopefully that's all that's wrong with it! Needless to say, the kitchen looks even worse than usual now, although my darling mother did a lot of washing up for me today while I was swearing over the dress pattern adjustments!
Oh well, there's a reason the word 'chaos' is in the name of this blog!!
