Fun with Fabric / Interfacing?
« on: March 04, 2017, 09:57:54 AM »
I'm making a blouse with collar from a drapey rayon, I've used a very light weight fusible but as I thought it's altered the drapeyness... I've taken most of it out, leaving just enough for buttonholes and button.. too late to take it out of the collar. The glue is still making it a bit stiff. I've been sewing for eons and you would think I had this sorted bu now..
what would you use?..

Just bought this and it arrived today..
It's beautiful quality, like a cotton lawn but a little heavier in weight.

In the wardrobe / The Brooklyn coat..
« on: March 01, 2017, 16:33:58 PM »
Well here it is..
It's a wadder and it's in the bin..the fabric was great, grey jersey one side and leather look on the other but sewing it with just lapped raw seams isn't my thing besides that it's huge across the shoulders (tried shortening but to no avail)..on the whole just not a good look for me. Thankfully the fabric wasn't expensive. £2 a meter from The Church.
When will I learn not to make up patterns with dropped shoulders!
