The dress pattern had 6 pieces, front and back darts and I fused the facings with fusible interfacing. As usual, the sewing process was relaxing and it finished faster than I planned.

And then, I pinned the neckline before top-stitching it. I decided

    What a lovely idea. Unfortunately, I can't join in as I have quite a bit of work to do, plus a trip to visit family during December.

    Such a nice idea, Hana! I am curious what you will be making. However, I have got quite a lot of christmas decoration and this year don't want to accumulate more. :)

    Oh, that will be lovely! Unfortunately, this year I didn't want to accumulate more christmas decoration. Maybe I need some holly leaves, though?;)
