I had more than a meter of fabric left after I made the high-waist tabbed skirt. After thinking about it long and hard  (about 10 minutes, really), I decided to make a halter type dress. Everything was going well until the fitting. I don’t know where I got this roll of elastic in my stash but it’s probably the worst elastic that I have ever used. If there is a Razzies of sewing notions, this elastic will sweep the awards.

And so I when I tried my dress on, the back part was ballooning in a way that it had no right to. My thought processes went from “Oh! I lost weight!” to “Ack what stupid elastic.” The dress will be left unfinished until the end of days. Or until I find better elastic.

I wasn’t wasting time entirely, though, since I got to shoot these photos while I was cutting the pieces for the dress-that-didn’t-come-to-be.

Dwarf trying his damndest to reach the fabric from between the back of the dining chair and the table. It was a very "The Shining" moment.

When he reached the top of the table, he decided that the camera strap was his new conquest.

Because Dwarf is very much committed to his nickname, McSquirmy, these photos are blurry.
