Working away... 70 plus hours on my dress so far!

I swear I am not lying that is basically just the amount of time I worked on my dress during the week of my couture sewing class. I ended up working so hard that week, that I was sick for a few days after the class.  I still have about 40 more hours of work to put into the dress before it is done.  No wonder couture garments cost so freaking much! 

I can't begin to tell you how wonderful the class was! Susan Khajle was our instructor and she is such a wealth of knowledge in couture sewing. I wish the class continued. Another great thing about the class was that you learned different techniques from the other students projects too. There were a total of 13 students and everyone was doing a different type of garment. I was on a high all week and it has been hard going back to life as usual.

Wow -- so beautiful and impressive! I wondered how the blue & red fabrics were planned; what a gorgeous lining it will be. Can't wait to see more photos. Hope the house & yard are coming along well. You must be so TIRED! BTW, I love the red top you're wearing; do you remember who its by/where you picked it up?
