Nearly Finished...

So, the dress I started several weeks ago is finally nearing completion! I was unable to work on it for a while due to my many broken sewing machines. Yeah, I have three sewing machines in this house, and not one works. We have two others in storage (and old fashioned Singer treadle machine and another old Singer, but not a treadle), but I can't get to them and don't know if they'll work. So, I just finally got the dress (almost) finished on our last Janesville trip. I thought it was finished at one point, but it ended up being much too big. I had to take an inch in on either side in the back and shorten the elastic in the front. I still could have taken it in even more, but once I have the ribbon belt on I think it will be fine. I still have to take the elastic in the front in a little more, and I need to fix a spot where the hem didn't catch, but it's that close to being done! I'll try to get pictures soon.
