| sewing the jacket's skirt to the bodice |
Ended up having a small break over New Year's, but today I went back to sewing a little bit more of the petticoat, and started sewing the jacket's skirt to the bodice. I lined up the bodice's and skirt's side seams first, and then the back seam. The skirt is in two separate pieces, slashed in the back and in the front. For no reason whatsoever, I ended up leaving a seam allowance in the skirt's front, but it's fine, I'll cut it after sewing. At least it's wider, not narrower. In order to have a clean finish, I'm first sewing both the outer and lining layers of the skirt, to the bodice's outer and inner layer, leaving the lining unsewn. After, I'll turn the lining's seam allowance in, and slip stitch it to the inner side of the seam.
+ The petticoat's first ruffle is 50% sewn. Started to sew the jacket's skirt to the bodice.
- The skirt's back panels are a bit narrower than the bodice's, I think I ended up adding a bit of width while sewing the bodice. It puckers a little bit, but I thin I can shift the fabric in place when I iron it.
THE CUNNING PLAN
Keep sewing the petticoat's ruffle; keep sewing the jacket's skirt.
