Day 12
I showed some of my suede applique to Lynn this morning to see if she thought it needed to be done again to neaten up. She decided to just trim a few millimeters off the edges of the suede so that it looked better. I cut one piece again and sewed it on more accurately, and then I was ready to attach the panels. I had to make sure that the suede would meet up on the corresponding seams which it did but I was worried that to get it right the seam allowance was a little over 1cm. To match the style of the skirt I topstitched down the seams that had suede. I also over locked and stitched up the lining for the dress today. I think I’m getting better at pressing the seams which are curved as I found these difficult to begin with. The trick is to lay the dress right over the round edge of the ironing board as it will not lie flat across it.
Pic from last week but it shows how the design will look when I've finished it:
