sewing project
Aug. 22nd, 2005 08:31 amI'm sewing again.... and I am amazed how quickly things cn go sometimes. I arrived at julies place about noonish yesterday and outlined a bodice pattern for her in three lace up pieces (lacing is my frend as that means the ends don't have to meet all the way! with perplums and lace on shoulder straps. She had a design in mind when I say her so all I had to do was adapt Drae's corset pattern into what she wanted and add the fidley details. it was patterned except for the skirt by 3 and mocked up and fitted on her. Then we made a food and jo Anns run (leather shop was closed so no gromets for me :( ) and added the boning channels. One more fitting to besure it hadn't shrunk to much then we cut it out. Julie helped that part out a lot and helped melt and cut the boning. I ended up takign the whole lot to Gaming with me (no the charactes worked everythign out and so far no one has been boted from the group). Brian was cool about me sewing while gaming (esp as I wasn't in game much for the begining). I kept ripping thing back out though. I designed the pattern you would think I would remember how to put it together. over all it only needs the boning put in (trinm and re melt a few bits that were too long). The skirt seamed again and gathered to the waistband. The waitband put together and the side peices boned and finished with bias tape. Triming and gromets. I'm pretty happy with how quicky it is coming togethere
