The BIG Project: Mostly Handwork

After I posted last night, I hemmed the skirt and back vent by hand. The silk organza underlining is really helpful for this--the stitches don't show on the outside of the skirt. Tonight I hand basted around the perimeter of the front bodice and trimmed off the excess mesh.

On to the lining: the center back seam has been sewn and the side seams are pinned and ready to be sewn.
