Bodice in One Piece
I decided that this weekend I was going to get the front sewn together again without the pucker. I did it but man are curves hard to sew! I am getting better at it at least. I do tend to have a lead foot when it comes to the foot presser! Here is a picture of the bodice on me. It’s supposed to go to the natural waist, so it looks a little high.
I do feel a sense of accomplishment right now. I’m just glad it fits!
Bodice, stage 2 complete
Finally managed to sew together the pieces for the outer bodice. As I was getting ready to start sewing the lining and outer bodice together, I read the next set of instructions and my brain stopped. Slipstitch, Understitch, what?! I decided it was time to pack up my toys and take my project back to my (sort of) mentor. My friend at work has been very helpful and patient with my questions, thankfully! I probably would not have bought the sewing machine at all if it hadn’t been for her! In any case, I welcome any comments or advice. I read the definition of these stitches and well, it didn’t help. We’re getting there though! Once I’ve got this bodice thing figured out, it’s on to the sleeves and the skirt! I am so dreading the zipper! Wish me luck!
