Disaster #1

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?
