WIP: New Look 6184 - 5

金曜に有休をとって、月曜は祝日なので、４連休中なのです。
オットが金曜から２泊三日でキャンプに行っていたので、裁縫して、映画みて、犬と散歩な週末でした。
ワンピースはもうすぐ完成です。

I took a Friday off so this is my nice long 4-day weekend. The Man of the House went for a 2-night camping/fishing trip on Friday, so I was home alone. Naturally, I lazied the hell out, sewed as much and as little as I wanted, hang out with the dogs, and binge watched Pride and Prejudice (the BBC version, of course), all 6 episodes.

My New Look 6184 dress is almost done. I messed up the vent a bit, and I should have sewn the lining to the zipper differently (or by hand) because it bagged around the zipper. I hope it does not get caught on the zipper in the future. Understitching also took forever.

By the way, my mother informed me that this pink with purple flower kimono fabric she gave me that I am using as a lining here is merino wool. No wonder why it shrunk so much after a wash and a dryer. I don't own wool garment so I did not know that wool fabric can be this thin and not scratchy. So, after a close look at the fabric surface, I think it is maybe crepe? Wool crepe?

All is left is hemming. I have decided to sew the shell hem to the lining since the lining is sewn to the vent and I don't know what to do with the hem when the vent is lined.
