Well, everything was going swimmingly. The undertop went together really well, although you can't really check for fit at this stage, as the armholes are left open at the shoulders. I was pretty confident though.
Then I lifted the overtop out. Total disaster. What I hadn't noticed when cutting out (how could I have missed it?), was a dirty great batch mark, made with permanent marker!!
I've tried to remove it with hand cleaner, and soap and water, but to no avail. I would be grateful for any suggestions to remove it. It seems pretty permanent to me.
Why oh why, couldn't it have been on the under bodice?
I've joined the back seam, and done a rolled hem, but the joy has gone out of the project - for now.....
