I didn’t work on the flower girl dress at all yesterday. Today, I picked it up and got as far as putting the front skirt together, adding the waistband, and sash. I also spent some time looking up a tutorial on how to install an invisible zipper. While I have made plenty of totes with zippered pockets, and plenty of those little zippered cosmetic bags, I have never had to do an invisible zipper for a garment. Back when I worked in an office and made skirts for myself, I found a cute pattern for an a-line skirt with side pockets that did not require a zipper. I made tons of them to wear to work–it was easy. But this dress requires that invisible zipper, sooooo I am learning a new technique. And I am not looking forward to it, because I can already envision myself picking out the seams at least once.
Pass the tequila, please, and that lime too!
You’ll do fine.
Karen Its not as bad as it sounds. I had more trouble with the one that went on top that was stones all the was down. It looks to me that you are really coming along good. Hanag in there.
Maybe save that Tequila for AFTER you do the zipper. LOL.

from Stefanie…..Aunt Karen, I love the dress so far…it’s really starting to look good. I sure do appreciate the love affair that you and your seam ripper have. AND please, hold that Tequila until the zipper is in ha ha ha. Thanks again for doing this for me. I can’t wait to see it finished.
