This linen/cotton blend is extremely sheer. And while that works for many designs, a slim
fitting dress is not one of them, in my opinion!
I decided to go with the green satin as a backing. Those butterflies needed a bit of foliage as
a backdrop!
I am currently hand basting my pieces together. This time around I decided to cut the fashion fabric first,
since it is more stable than the underlining I have chosen.
And the sleeves will be a single layer of the linen.
I am using French seams for those pieces. The cuffs will probably be underlined – but those
pieces have yet to be cut, so I am still not sure about that!
In the mean time, I have quite a few darts to stitch!
I can't wait to see the finished outfit. This fabric is lovely.

Thank you for giving us the little peeks into your process. It really does help. Sometimes it's thrilling to know that you do things the same way I do, and other times I learn something completely new!
ReplyDeleteThat satin is going to be so sleek and scrumptious inside the dress. A good choice. I can hardly wait to see the big beautiful sleeves, covered with butterflies!
