map projections of me
Feb. 17th, 2007 07:20 pmSo, after meaning to get around to it for about 11 months now, I've finally pulled out the fitted dress mock-up from Mathilde's workshop. I have fought with cutting layouts, made semi-arbitrary decisions about gussets, and basted the body of the dress proper together. And am seriously considering hand-finishing all the seams so that I can tuck up the skirt without worrying about what it looks like on the inside. Shocking. Next I'll start worrying about the perfect fiber content, or wanting to hand sew all the seams entire, and someone will have to hit me over the head to make me stop... (Not that there's anything wrong with handsewing stuff; I just don't want that to become one of my priorities)
Anyway, aside from the rather odd shape I appear to be when flattened out in 4 pieces matching my surface area, I am still dithering about sleeves. ( does anyone want to offer an opinion as I blather on at great length? )
