petticoat rambles
May. 3rd, 2005 10:07 pmI worked just a bit on the plain cotton petticoat tonight. Not exciting at all.
I'm using 2 panels (front & back) of 45" fabric, so I straighten the grain, sewed the panels together and pleated the top. Hopefully I've pleated it to the right size. I've misplaced my "in-stays" figures so I used a measurement based on my gown. I'm using ties at the sides so a little small would be good. *crosses fingers*
I've also misplaced my supply of cotton twill tape (for the waistband and ties). I was thinking I had some left over from the bum roll but I can't seem to locate it, so maybe not. I was planning a trip into G Streets tomorrow anyway so I'll just get some while I'm there.
