I feel all sorts of accomplished

Past couple days has been alot of first for me. They may not seem very big but they were to me. I dyed my first piece of fabric. :) I think it came out quite nice. It may not me as dark and solid as if I had bought it at the store but for this project that is perfect! I mean come on I am going to be burning this fabric to give it character and an aged apperance. I think a little faded dye is just going to add to that.
I also put in my first zipper yesterday.  All sorts of ewwwwws and ahhhhhhhs. I am pretty dang happy with how that came out. It was one of the first times I couldn't find a hundred things wrong with whatever it was that I was working on. 
In other sewing news I am about 75% done with the Autumn dress'es chemise. I am using a french seam on it so it is taking a bit longer then I had expected it too. Another thing I am really liking right now. The guessets add alot to the overall look. I am still in debate on whether or not to add blackwork to the cuffs. I am leaning towards no and going back and adding it later if I have time. I need to start on the gown already  dangit!
Okay back to trying to conquer my insomnia.

Ahh dyeing fabric. Such fun. I love doing it, even though my family thinks I'm mad, especially when I hang it out on the clothesline!
And I hate zippers. :)
Oh, and as to our quiz answers being similar, great minds think alike, don't you know!
