So, over the weekend I toiled away at my Lady Grey...
I finished the collar and set in and hemmed the sleeves. I also hemmed the coat shell and finished the lining's sleeves with black lace. By Sunday afternoon, I had decided to work late into the night, if necessary, to finish the coat by morning.
Naturally, that was when this happened:
I ran out of topstitching thread with one seam left to be stitched. Moments later, I also ran out of the silk thread that I have been using for pad stitching and hand sewing. In other words, I reached an impasse. C'est la vie.
Since I can't attach shell to lining until the shell is fully topstitched, I did the only sane thing I could do. I turned on the Oscars Red Carpet. But today, I braved the rain to go get more thread and now I am ready to push through and finish this coat!

Go, go, go!

ReplyDeleteAlmost there! It is maddening to run out of thread. I haven sewn garments with the wrong color or thread before because I can't stand to wait. I admire your self control!
