| bias tape finished hem (still needs ironing) |
Well, well, well, about 8m bias tape finally sewn! I should celebrate! In order to have the least possible bias tape visible seams, I tried to use one tape between each corner, hiding the edges on each corner. The only parts I couldn't avoid a seam, were the longer bottom hem parts. All the other "sides" are in one piece. This was also possible because the satin is very thin, or else the corners would have become much bulkier. To sew the tape, I used my usual method: using a gauge, I sewed the tape on the outside, with a backstitch, folded it at the seam, then in the middle, and, finally, folded it inwards, encasing the main and sewed it with an invisible stitch to the seam on the reverse side.
+ I feel rather accomplished, not because it's difficult, it isn't, but because this was probably the lengthiest sewing in this whole project. Now I think I'll manage to finish it on the current due date, February the 27th, for the Cosplay Photoshoot (pandemics allowing).
- the corners were easy, especially compared with the concave in the back. Fortunately it was only one.
THE CUNNING PLAN
Finish the sleeves already! So you'll have a finished jacket, minus the closures! Also, the closures and the gloves. Most of the other sewing, will be machine sewn.
