Pattern matching and more pattern-matching

[mrs_maupin]

Why on Earth did I think assembling Effie would be easy ? This dress is going to be the death of me and I'm not even sure I like it. It'd better look good on the model. And fit, because I don't have much wiggle room.

My dummy is sooo not the right shape for this dress, too.

Of course, I am now behind on my schedule. This wasn't helped by the fact that I actually slept in yesterday (yay ! catching up on sleep ! finally !), and that we had to run some errands, like replacing our old mattress. New fancy mattress was found and ordered, so that's cool. But I didn't get to actually work before 4PM, which is not so good.
