Structurally Complete
Jan. 25th, 2018 05:35 amIt still needs trim, but my gown and petticoat are structurally finished.


The blue ribbon is where I'm playing with the trim layout. It will be all self-trim. That's going to take a bit because I'm putting Fray Check on all the cut edges since the fabric is a bit prone to fraying. I've been sealing each edge as soon as it's cut so I have to wait half an hour between cutting the two sides of a strip. Fortunately, I've had lace to piece for the engageantes in between cutting out trim. Once that runs out, I'll be able to start applying the first strips while waiting for more to dry.
