Scallops and Fabric
Scallops and Fabric
Corrected the back bodice pattern (I decided I'm going to leave the front as I drafted, without the under bust dart, the straps keep the fabric from folding!) and started on the math for the 3/4 circle skirt pattern today.
I don't have enough fabric for a full circle, so I'll make a 3/4 circle skirt. In order to fit all the pattern pieces on the fabric, I'll have to sew the straps from 2 pieces (the back piece with the ties and the straps is this ridiculous shape that wastes so much fabric! I hope it'll be worth it :))
Also made "test-scallops" from newspaper. I think I'm going to make the scallops about 12cm wide (the top one in the picture):
On an unrelated note, I got this large pillowcase at the thrift store a few weeks ago, and I'm not sure what I want to do with it yet (the spool is there for size comparison):
I like the stripes and the color! Maybe a romper (chevron effect)? The colors are very summery and "fun". Or a dress with a gathered skirt? I'll have to see if I have enough fabric.
