Fun With Cording
So, yay! I'm to the cording stage! Sadly, this is also where I hit my hit snag. I should start by saying that I probably should have done the cording before I assembled the pieces, buy yeah.......
I got the busk pocket all nicely corded, followed by 2 bust gores. It was looking snazzy. Then I went to lay down my first row of horizontal cording and found that I had almost an inch of extra fabric in my top layer. No way was it cling to shrink that much. After much Jennings and hawing, I ripped out two hip gussets and reseamed two seams. It all lines up a lot better now and I made progress on actually getting some cords in. See:
Now, to finish breaking my fast and see if I can lay down a couple more rows before work.
