Had a sudden rush of blood to the head and thought at 2o'clock it would be a good idea to make this dress to wear tonight. Crushed velvet - stretch - and to add a bit of tension to the project a lace -over lay on the centre back panels and raw edged insert in all the seams. No worries - what was I thinking?
Got it cut out OK and started applying the lace - stretch - onto the crushed velvet - stretch - like that was a brilliant idea Jan - it's wound up looking like a road traffic accident. Can't yet figure out how to apply the facings...... and it's stretching and slipping ...... and the edges are all curling up.....
D'ya know what? I'll wear something else.
