Burgundy dress for my mother's 80th birthday party next month

Sewing diary

  1. Friday 24th of July 2026 · 1 week ago

    Got my skirt attached to the bodice. I don't like the dress lining hanging from the shoulders. So I baste the skirt lining and main fabric together, leaving a few inches by the back center free. Then I sew it the whole thing to the bodice but break the stitches where the lining is basted. Once the zipper is in I'll stitch the lining down. Next I insert the zipper.

    My skirt lining is basted to the outer fabric. I'm going to let them hang while I finish up the bodice.

    While cutting I decided to add 1" to the hem since I had plenty of fabric.
