sewing report

this is a pattern from a book, the kind that has minimal insructions- vague sizing info and tear out sheets you trace the pattern from. Agg. You can see how it was supposed to look in the drawing.

But this is how it looks when done - about 7" of open space in the middle. So, I made a panel and sewed extra lace on top of it. It will cover the opening and hopefully look cute.

 I like the style but if I make it again I will make major fixes to the pattern.
