Prom Dress Update


I carefully pinned the lace to the china silk. I considered basting it together, but pins work, right?


Lace trumps silk!! I could not sew the silk with the lace sandwiched in between with out getting
this lovely hairy looking stitch. Silk needle to sew silk and lace? Wrong! Looks like I will be needing
a ballpoint needle because the lace is a stretch lace. I sincerely hope this solves the problem. Back to the
sewing shop I go...
