Update On Sewing

I have to be honest, its not going so well. I managed, after several hours, to get the pattern cut out.

I'm talking the TISSUE PAPER pattern, not anything to do with actual fabric.

By the time I was done that, I was in pain so bad I was trembling.

I didn't sleep last night, finally managing to get a few hours this afternoon.

I want so badly to honour my daughter with this dress...I just truly don't know if I can physically manage it.

Wolf asked why I would attempt such a thing when I have RSD. Perhaps its because I have RSD. I want to do something special, that my beautiful daughter deserves, as her mother, RSD be damned. If I was able to find a beautiful dress for her, I would go that route...but I can't. She's 11, and in women's sizes, only an inch shorter than I. Any dress I could find for her was far, far too mature. Any pretty party gowns in the girls/teens ran out before we found her size.

Sewing seemed the only option...I just don't know if I can.

I'm praying that I'm able to honour my daughter with this, that God will give me the strength to get through this.

I'm so sorry this is so difficult.

Perhaps this could be a mother/daughter project? There is a great deal of joy in working together, especially at something so new.

(((hugs)))

Thank you for your encouragement. I still hope to get this done (had lidocaine last night, so feeling the best I ever feel today) so I'm hoping to get the majority of it done today, if not completed...even if it means being up til the wee hours of the am.
