LonesomeBrown

Blow the trumpets of triumph; the dress is done!  Thanks to LIRR’s drastically reduced service last night (read: poor Lois in a vintage beret and vintage elbow length leather gloves is confused by the deserted LIRR platform and returns home crestfallen), I spent a pleasant evening zigzagging the edge of the hem and sewing on a bias strip.  This afternoon, after an equally pleasant morning of vintage scavanging, I hand sewed the hem and added the snaps and buttons to the midriff.  (This while listening to NPR StoryCorps Podcasts - highly recommended by the way.)

For those of you who don’t know, I started this project in early July and gave myself a six week (August 18th) deadline.  Well…better late than never, eh?
