Drama, drama!

For once drama doesn't have to do with people. Alice's dress is becoming way too dramatic as issue after issue keeps popping up. At first we couldn't find the zipper foot for the sewing machine so we had to run around town like chickens with our heads cut off as store after store gave us the run around. Who would have known finding a zipper foot (I mean come on! Zippers are so common on clothing!) would be so hard! At the first place (We called in and they said they had one.) told us they were out and didn't bother trying any other pieces. We wound up going to their main store just a few streets down and they were super helpful and found one that did work and even showed us how to use it.

So after we got that the last needle broke! Then guess what? When we bought more they weren't fitting in right and I dropped one into a hole in the sewing machine and the other broke. So we only have one needle again. Then this afternoon my mom spilled pop all over the back piece which of course had just had the zipper sewn in all the way and I was ready to start on the lining.

So today instead of sewing I had to soak the fabric to remove the stain. Luckily soaking it in cold water with a little laundry soap took care of any stains left. Then I put it in the dryer on air fluff and was able to smooth out most of the wrinkles so overall I avioded having to re-do that piece and the zipper.

It's been stressful but I am still determined to get this piece done. So I should be able to work on it tomorrow. And I will be taking a butt load of new pictures so check back soon for those!
