It was about a half year ago, I startet the first time with my corsage.
I didn't want to take the chinese fabric I've bought first, so I took the one with little skulls & bones. This one is better to sew, because it's not so slippery like the chinese silk.
BUT - nevertheless there were loooots of problems!
First I made a sample - just to see if there are some modifications I have to make. And what should I say? It was perfect! NO MODIFICATIONS!! Yay!
But I laughed too soon...
The "real" corsage was not as easy as the sample. There were 4 plies, a clasp and lots of steel...
After two sewing-meetings the corsage was finally finished - almost...
Before I make the final stitches, I wanted to fit it... And look, who's talking... IT DOESN'T FIT!! F***!
There are cuttlings on the sides (too less steel - get more steel in in!) and the cups are to big (make the cups smaller - on all 4 plies!!)... I don't like it... I think, I'm gonna put it away for a while. Maybe I'll finish it in a few weeks... months... years... Who knows?

Hi!
I'm Birdie. This is my new blog and I want to entertain you :) I am trying to sew some costumes AND I want you to show my "disasters" *chichichi*...
I am a German woman but I write this blog deliberately in English - so, please, apologize the mistakes in my grammar :D
THANKS!
And now:
I hope to show you some "work in progress" in the next time... or finished projects... or something else ;)
So long, take care!
Birdie
