The Close-ups

Just to show you how wacky that fold over elastic is - and I never did a zig-zag stitch by hand, but it's functional, so I'll take it. (And do you know how hard it is to stitch elastic by hand when you're stretching it to gather the fabric? Really hard after a coconut punch!)


I guess I can check the internet for solid colors of this elastic, but I'm thinking now that the Mardi Gras dress should be an actual dress, which would be this skirt combined with the white top I'm wearing in the previous post. I'll have to do a serious swayback adjustment...


Now off to work on that knitted sweater sleeve - I got about 8 inches of 21 done after I finished the skirt!
