Progress on Macaron

Dear readers,

Yes! I've finally 90% done with the Macaron.

All I need to do is press and hem tomorrow!  

Here I am below lining up the skirt to the bodice. . .

Here, I actually took the time to line up 

and mark the straight lines so that the

waistline is seemingly straight. . . 

I am doing a quick lining.  Which means lining to the

neck and sleeve line.  So to reinforce the neckline and sleeves

I have not only used my lightweight interfacing but also

sewing in some silk ribbon I had bought "just in case" for this

project!  It has worked out wonderfully.  I also used the silk

ribbon to line invisible zipper to reinforce it.  

Of course, every project has its mistakes it seems.  Two of mine:  I couldn't figure out the lining!  For example, my last dress I lined easily - but now I remember that it has a back zipper - this dress has a side zipper.  I must have forgot how I did the lining on my other macaron!  

And, I made my usual error of cutting a hole in the lining by mistake, so I patched it on the inside with a good luck shamrock - it didn't alter the pattern, thankfully, and it does not show!  I have more to report when this is finished . . . . almost done!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
