I love the gathered waist you added on the final iteration of the project and your facial expression in that last photo is priceless! You definitely turned lemons into lemonade with this one!

I give you a lot of credit for trying two more times after the first project. Too bad the pattern was so fussy and then didn't turn out right after all that. I guess I didn't realize a chemise was a night gown; I would have pictures it like a chamisole. Good luck on Sunday and have fun. I bet you will have a blast!

I like the idea of this top, and I predict you will find a better pattern to work with, tweak it in the usual Amy way, and make a bunch of cute little chemise-like tops for all your fabulous Amy-made pants. Good luck with the sisters -- I can't imagine. In my 7th grade home economics class, we spent the first few days sewing straight lines on paper (threadless) -- beginning with lined notebook paper and graduating to unlined typing paper.

Now when it comes to making something for my friend's daughters I have no problems at all. :-) Have fun with the sewing lessons.

I just came out of another tremendously frustrating sewing project. So bad that I don't think I can even post pictures. UGH. Truth be told, I think the shirring does improve it a lot.
