Did, Am, & Will

I did pin, cut, and assemble my project.

I am still working on it.

I will prevail!

The only frustrating issue so far is the fact that my hood did not stay pinned under the two layers of the cape as I went to stitch around the neck. All that was supposed to be left was the bottom hem, turn inside out, the slits for arm holes. And then contemplate the ribbon trim and button accessories. But now, I must deal with seam ripping many layers. I mean many layers with the interfacing, lining, fabric, warmer middle, and seams coming together.

I am frustrated yet anxious! Every handmade item must have a flaw or two!

This is exactly why I cannot wait until the week before Halloween to make costumes!

And the funny thing is, Norah is adament that she is "riding hood", but balks at the "dry fits" so I can determine fit and length. I hope she'll wear it!
