I have started the Galactic Satin Dress. I am making Simplicity 1777 with the contrasting panel and long sleeves.
I decided to change machines and use the Borletti to make this. I have to say I wish I had stuck to the Necchi! The Borletti is very sleek and even comes with cams but I think the thread is getting caught somewhere and there seems also to be a bit of a lack of speed control. I don't remember having either of those problems last time I sewed with that machine but maybe I've just got more finicky.
Finally an overview of the Galactic satin.
Maybe if I get time tomorrow I will post some construction details for it. The satin is sliding all over the place and absolutely nothing is staying lined up for more than approximately a second, I think I'm going insane trying to get seams the same length! I've also managed to upset my overlocker tonight, something I will hopefully be able to resolve tomorrow morning when I'm not so tired!

New Material
I'm not sure what it is about buying new material but I always want to make something with it! Fortunately I bought material for a project yesterday so I am definitely making something. It is for a dress for my sister, I will post the dress pattern later, I will be making it in a size 12 and satin, I am a devil for punishment! The satin is called Galactic Satin and it is easy to see why!
The contrasting section of the dress will be in green satin, as shown together below.
The colours aren't quite displaying correctly in these photographs.
I also saw this fabric yesterday and although I had no immediate plans for it, I bought it. I mean, how could I resist?? There was only 1.45 metres left on the roll and I had the lot, I'm thinking a shirt, or perhaps a skirt.....
