I doing a very tricky stretch leotard type complicated thingie & it is not going well....

[KatyMac]

Could anyone say encouraging things?

Feeling despondent

[AwkwardPaws27]

You can do it!! If all else fails and try again tomorrow

[KatyMac]

Thank you

The biggest issue is each time i do a bit I have to manhandle the mannequin to get the leotard on!

If DD was home she would try it on - less shifting bodies around the kitchen!

[KatyMac]

One leg done and the second pinned - now I just need to get it off Monican the Mannequin so I can sew the other side!

[KatyMac]

Both legs done and the back - have to cut the front now.....Fingers crossed

[Trumpton]

Ah still at it then @KatyMac ?

Love reading your updates . What is this one for ?

I made my mum a swimming costume years ago . That was a beast to do as I had to sew her enormous bra into it .
She was so pleased with it !

[KatyMac]

Doing it a bit professionally now - but this one is for DD

Charity Strictly and the latin costume is 'difficult' but then if you are making it out of a £7.50 charity shop evening dress it might be!

I've draped the skirt and I am retro fitting a leotard underneath....because I'm stupid!

[KatyMac]

A lined leotard because I'm mad!

[Trumpton]

Crazee laydee !

[KatyMac]

You know me so well - I just got to another tricky bit

Got to save enough skirt to make a tie!! & maybe an handkerchief.....so I can't centre it and cut it out the middle

[KatyMac]

Then, if I ever get it finished I can go back to the fun bit - beading

[Trumpton]

I am a bit tempted to buy children’s duvet covers and make myself some colourful trousers !

[KatyMac]

Use a pair you like to make a template then go for it!

[KatyMac]

Now I need to wait for DD to come home for a final fitting!

[KatyMac]

Finally finished the bigger yesterday!
