Mom’s birthday was Tuesday. I went over for lunch, which was the best part of the day for sure.

This has been a pretty rough week at work. I was ready for the weekend on Tuesday.

Worked a bit more on the dress. Now I only have the sleeves and the hem to go.

I tried it on and I both like it and hate it. Next time, I’d use solid black in the same material for the bodice, with maybe the collar matching the skirt. However, I don’t think I’m going to use this particular pattern again.
