Ugh.

I am definitely experiencing sewing fatigue. The bertha is fully attached to the bodice (though I want to tack down the pleats in a few more places). I stitched the overskirt to the bodice, and in doing so, made several holes in my finger with the back of the needle. That fabric is woven waaaayy too tightly. Ouch. Still needs pressing, but the waist is done. And I pinned the hem of the skirt, and started pinning the hems of the overskirts. I still need to figure out how I want to rig up the snaps or hooks to close the bertha (I didn't want to close it center back, so I'm going to have it lap over on one side and close on the shoulder). It's looking pretty decent, considering how much of a last minute project this has been. I just really really need to finish it completely tomorrow. It also still needs the pickups done and the flowers tacked over them.
