There is something really exciting about cutting into
fabric. Inevitably, something about a
project will not turn out as expected, but at the beginning, everything is
perfect.
This damask print is so oversized I was really worried about
how much fabric was going to be wasted by trying to match the motifs. It actually worked out quite well.
To help match everything up, I used a pencil to trace an outline of
the design directly on the muslin. (Having a complete muslin with a right and left side really helps with this!)
I was hoping to have enough leftover yardage to add a pair
of cuffs to the design, and now I do!
[Britex has generously provided the fabric and sewing
supplies for a dress I will be wearing to a formal event in October. I will be
sharing some of the steps and construction techniques with you as I work on
this project over the next couple of months.]
This will be a stunning dress, dear Laura! I am following all the steps with great interest, you always get amazing dresses, love your entire wardrobe! Have a wonderful week.
