Title: Victory Patterns - jackie
Post by: Catllar on December 16, 2017, 16:50:33 PM
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.....  :S

D'ya know what? I'll wear something else. ><

 0_0 That sounds like a plan, Jan.

Hahaha.  :) Yeah, sounds a good idea to me.  Why stress over it?

Yes, neatly stored in a bag awaiting a renewed inspiration.
