I was so stressed out doing the straps I forgot to take any photos.  In my defence, I was trying to get them all done before taxiing daughter to explorers.  This is what they turned out like after the dreaded turning out and ironing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_202603-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1005\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/?attachment_id=1005\" class=\"wp-image-1005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_202603-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_202603-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_202603-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_204903-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1006\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/?attachment_id=1006\" class=\"wp-image-1006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_204903-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_204903-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_204903-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I tried a couple of methods of turning them the right way round.  First I tried leaving a long end, knotting that, and pulling it through with the weird long &#8216;crochet needle&#8217;, but the cotton kept snapping!!  Their were screams, and I had to unpick some stitching at one point when it was stuck, with the hook in there!  I then left a MUCH longer end, which went through the whole length of the strap before I stitched it.  I just needed a normal knitting needle then to get it going and could just pull it through.  This worked much better, although I won&#8217;t be trying it again in a hurry!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The straps were basted onto the bodice, and then the lining attached.   It is important to line the straps up correctly to align with the edge of the bodice.  I did a quick check of that before trimming and snipping the seams to turn out the right way.  Iron iron iron to get neat edges, and then gathering the bottom edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next comes the mammoth task of sewing all the skirt seams &#8211; all seven of them, then trying to get M to try it on, to check okay before overlocking them, and hemming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_230024-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1009\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/?attachment_id=1009\" class=\"wp-image-1009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_230024-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_230024-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_230024-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_231228-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1010\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/?attachment_id=1010\" class=\"wp-image-1010\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_231228-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_231228-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_231228-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_232357-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1011\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/?attachment_id=1011\" class=\"wp-image-1011\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_232357-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_232357-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191003_232357-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Next comes the scary bit of sewing the two bodice parts to the skirt and getting the bodice gathering right.  More trying on &#8211; she doesn&#8217;t like that bit!!!  Needed to check the fit, and position the straps.  At this point I realised that I did need to adjust the gathers on one side of the bodice as they were a bit uneven, and adjust the positioning a bit as it was gaping a little on her.  Also needed to take another centimetre off the back when putting the zip in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it looks good.  I have tried it on, but I can&#8217;t zip it up (I shouldn&#8217;t be surprised!!!).  I am waiting for her to come back from a friend&#8217;s party before I can get her to try it on again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191005_162946-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1012\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/?attachment_id=1012\" class=\"wp-image-1012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191005_162946-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191005_162946-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191005_162946-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191005_173106-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1014\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/?attachment_id=1014\" class=\"wp-image-1014\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191005_173106-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191005_173106-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191005_173106-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191005_173136-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1015\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/?attachment_id=1015\" class=\"wp-image-1015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191005_173136-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191005_173136-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191005_173136-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Version 2 of this dress, using a dark green satin, View E of the design, for Milly.
