I just finished the princess dress I promised a DGD so that she can have it for the birthday party for her 2 little sisters.The party is Saturday. Now I don't think I'll even get to see her wear it the first time. We are expecting torrential rain again tomorrow night and Saturday. DH is worried about the basemenet flooding because the water table is so high. So he doesn't want to be away. It's a 2 hour drive to their house. DH said he thinks we'll have to go up tomorrow with the dress and come right home. It's been a trial trying to get the dress finished. I used materials I've never worked with before like nylon tulle and net. On top of that most days I could only work for a very short time before having to leave it to go someplace with DH. He's been having a lot of pain in his knee and is feeling cooped up because he's unable to get around the way he used to. He's waiting to see the surgeon about a knee replacement. All of which leads up to the fact that when he wants to get out of the house, I drop everything and we go. I hope someone will take a picture of her in the dress. The pattern is Simplicity 4647. I made major changes in the way it went together so that she could use the dress for either dress up or school. Juno
