I sewed!

I cut out the See & Sew yesterday and put it together today. Mostly, anyway. I have the zipper and some handstitching around the sleeves and a hem. I'm not getting a very good stitch on the New Home, though. Not very straight, almost a zig-zag, and the tension's off. Must keep fiddling with it, I suppose. It was doing well on my samples, but not on the dress. You can see the seam going up and down is better than the horizontal seam. But still not great.
Here's the start of the dress, hanging on an IV pole in front of an unused weight machine. Since the dress is a bit snug, perhaps I should use the weight machine.
For $1/yard, I really do like this fabric. Even at 100% polyester, it feels nice and has a good weight and drape. I was thinking of black piping at the neck and arms, but I don't think my machine will do it very well. I'll make do with a belt, I suppose.

    I like it. The machine will straighten up. BTW, I like the socks, my internet was acting up last night and kept timing out. Keep fooling with the tension, looks like that will do it and then you'll have that dedicated buttonholer. And the IV pole looks better with a dress hanging on it.. K
