Back to Sewing
Jul. 14th, 2014 11:47 pmI had a major CADD attack today. I unpicked the regency bodice this morning, in order to cut a new front piece, but while 1.5 weeks of sun did not fade the brighter bodice piece to match the paler, it did fade it to a slightly more yellow color than the remaining fabric. So the regency dress is in the naughty pile right now. I'll work on it if I finish everything else I need for CosCol.
Instead, I patterned out an 1880s tall hat to wear with my seaside bustle. At this point, the buckram is cut out and wired (and stitched together, since I'm doing two layers of buckram). I need to go pick up more double fusible stuff to attach the fabric (unless anyone knows a better way of covering the buckram - glue/sewing/etc?) But I think I might be able to finish it tomorrow, at least structurally.
Here's a pic of its current state:
