So begins the dress work...

Well, it's not as easy as I'd expected. I began with this:

Then (by the sun set) I sat around knitting three front panels and a waist band to create this:

Took quite a long time, especially to sew on to the dress. Not least because the grey wool is very thin and curls up on itself AND won't iron flat...

Then it was time to try some embroidery... which, it turns out, I'm not all that good at...

Take, for example, my first leaf, which went in the wrong direction entirely... Anyway, I might try and crochet some leaves instead and see if that works better... It's all fun though...
