Making my dress.

Hello,
It feels like ages since I have been on here. Yesterday was a mixed bag as I handed in my assignment (the research part) which I wasn't altogether happy with, but it's kind of out of my hands at the moment. I just know that I can do a lot better.
However we were told that our fabric would not arrive until next week and so we had to concentrate on our personal statements for university, our blogs or finding our work placements e.t.c. I think we were all disappointed because most of us have finished our toiles and were expecting to start our final project. But...the lovely sewing assistant Lynn came to me with some fabric and said "Oh I found some marine green fabric for you". This was precisely the fabric that I had ordered and luckily there was just enough to cut out my main pattern and the facing. I had also found some lining in the cupboard which complemented the "marine green" perfectly. So yesterday I cut out all my pattern pieces and attached some interlining to the bodice using the steam press and the fusing machine (novel!). I then sewed up my bodice and skirt ( i have not sewn these together as my organza has not arrived yet and this will need to be sewn into the seams of the bodice and skirt.
Today I sewed up my lining and the bodice did not match the skirt so I had to go back to my pattern and that's where I found that I hadn't taken the darts out of the back bodice so I had to go back and make yet another piece. My day was spent unpicking and resewing, but I didn't mind because by the end of the day I had a garment that fitted together beautifully> Ahhhhhh.
I then got to work on my detachable bodice which is going to be corded in black duchess satin. I am using silver cording as I want the cording to be exposed at the top and this will correspond with the silvery grey organza that I have chosen. I ended up going to Durham Market where I found some thicker cording for 90p per metre. I bought 4 metres so I hope that's enough.
Anyway I hope to be getting some pictures on here very soon when I figure out how to work my blackberry a bit more.
Have a beautiful weekend people - I will be at work in Monsoon all weekend so please think of me.....
