I love holiday weekends! Time to rest, play and sew.
I have made great progress with NL6000. One night last week while drifting off to sleep, I had the thought that I should add a lining to this dress. The red/white houndstooth fabric ravels a lot; and I thought that a lining would help with some stability and protection of the serged seams. I did not want to do a Hong Kong finish. So Friday evening I cut out the lining fabric.
Yesterday AM and evening I sewed the lining fabric first for test fitting. I then started on sewing the dress stopping when all darts were sewn. This AM I inserted the invisible zipper completed the back seam sewing, sewed the shoulders and have now basted the side seams for a fitting of the actual dress.
Sewing to resume later today.
Yesterday while out and about doing some shopping, I stopped at JoAnn's to pick up a red zipper for the dress. While there Simplicity patterns were 5 for $5 and took advantage of that sale to pick up a couple of patterns that I have had an interest in but not enough to pay full or half price. Love a $1 a pattern sale!
More later

My mind works like that, too. I often get ideas as I'm drifting off to sleep or just waking up. More often than not, they are actually good ideas. A lining will be a good addition to this dress.
