Finishing up the last bit of the latest commission, and to be honest, I will be glad to see the tail end of this project. It’s been a pretty intensive re-engineering and conglomeration of several dress patterns, and while the main piece was done in time for Halloween, per customer request, I didn’t have the time to finish up the custom tutu for underneath by that deadline. I’m excited to see the entirety complete, but this one’s been more challenging than I would normally take for a month’s project. Lots of lovely lessons learned, although several in particularly frustrating ways, but it just makes me a better seamstress.

I’ve truly enjoyed working with this lovely’s sense of aesthetics and adapting an idea to her personal style, but I’m ready to be finished with it. Then I’ll knock out some smaller projects that have been languishing on my work table, and all will be well.
