One of the things that tired me out so much is I had 2 ball gowns to make for the ball in the middle of our 2 weeks holiday! Mummy didn't like her first one, and she ripped it, so I made her a new one, from a lovely sari covered in gold and silver spangles! The sari is black, but it's so sheer I mounted it on golden taffeta. ( the photos are this way )

We got back again on Sunday night, to find the power had been off all week so we had 3 freezers to empty! Tuesday I started working again on my blue cotton plaid, and stopped once the bodice was done to move on to a new petti, which I just finished a few hours ago (I love it!!! I wanted to whip out a quick one, but decided in the end it just had to have 7 tucks and a hand gathered waistband!!) so now the plaid skirt is hemmed and ready to pleat tomorrow. I'm a bit fed up with this dress now, I've been working on it on and off for so long! But the end is in sight, it needs a collar and undersleeves, then I can move on to Mummy's new bodice and Clare's hems all need shortening, then I can make myself some more pretties!!!
