I started sewing up Mom's Turkish coat. It looks like she is coming after all (Woohoo!). My SIL's sister (following this?) works at a really neat little Irish pub in Bethesda. They've offered to make platters for the baptism. If that happens, then Mom won't have to cook (why she just didn't order the platters from Giant like usual, I'll never know) and then she can come play on Saturday.
The problem is there is something funny going on with the lining of the Turkish coat so I have to take one side of it apart and see what the heck I did wrong. For something that is a relatively simple pattern, it's really giving me a lot of trouble.

For fun and amusement for all:

It's bad baby names. Some of these are just too funny. You have to wonder what the heck the parents were thinking...and whether child services has been called due to "abusive" names.

I think I know what I'm going to do for the second "fairy" gown..not that it matters much. Although the Fairy fest is two days, I'll only be able to go on one day so I just need one gown. ::sigh::

I've come to the conclusion I need to take the Turkish coat completely apart. This one side is simply *not* lining up like it should and I can't tell if it's simply because I'm accidentally stretching the fabric too much or if it's something with the cut of the gores or what. The other side is perfect, why does this one have to be giving me trouble?

I couldn't find the silver buttons. I have a few more places to check but I did pull out the fake plastic ones that look like pearl and gold just in case. They aren't the best but they look fine from a foot away. I really need to find the silver ones....
