For the last few weeks, I’ve been relearning some dormant sewing skills. I haven’t made formal wear in over 30 years, but now I’m at the beginning of making a prom dress. The prom hasn’t been scheduled yet, but I need to start now .. as in, what if this doesn’t turn out well and Sophia needs to shop for a dress at the last minute. After the pattern arrived, I traced the pieces needed according to her measurements, found some fabric in a drawer that would work, and sewed a “muslin” – a practice garment to check the fit.
The muslin fit great. Next, order fabric. So far, so good.
