Bottom piece is ready!

Yay, I also have a model now! Thanks to Galina and her spotting eyes šŸ™‚

And it looks good on her!

Sewing row by row. The top cannot be reached from the bottom so the skirt has to be removed from theĀ mannequin every time.

Sewing my faith into the dress! Another way to express gratitude to God!

Before getting to the top, sewing velcro straps on the back side to leave the opening.

You’ve gotta sew it by hand because the skirt would be ruined with that tiny space in the machine.

But hey, reaching the top real soon! Just one more layer to cover up the skirt.

And here we go! The bottom piece is ready! Each water droplet taped and then sewed on the skirt by hand!

Woah, how cool!

Fifth Production Class: Bottom piece & Water container droplet

Going to attach the water droplets to the bottom piece.Ā 

About 100 water droplets…

Starting from the bottom to the top.
Pinning the droplets first to ensure the exact location.

Then using double-sided tape to attach the droplets to the skirt.

Mass taping:

Hmm…not bad. But how much more to reach the top??? Ran out of droplets already and haven’t even made it halfway up.

At the same time making the water container droplets from clear plastic so we can get a see-through look šŸ˜‰ First drew and cut a template from paper and then the plastic.

Infused to plastic droplet sheets but only on the outer rim leaving about 2cm open on the top so thatĀ water can be pouredĀ into it.

And here it is! The clear plastic water droplet container!!!

In the meantime the taped droplets fell from the bottom pieceĀ šŸ™ The infused plastic skirt is not as flat so the tape does not stick to it for very long. What to do then? Sew the droplets on one by one. All you need is a needle, white thread and a thread snipper.

Sewing an X-shape to make it tight and durable.
