Polonaise Update from Looptangle
Look at this delicious bit of fittedness:
I'm really, really proud of myself.
I've gotten tons more done since last I blogged. Finished flatlining...
...and moved on to assembling the back piece. Lots of hand-basting, which I actually really enjoy. Especially since I got some new basting needles which are long and sharp.
Once the side pleats are basted, the top gets pleated onto a piece of twill tape.
Then you sew it to the back pieces. The above picture is actually just the pleating, not the attaching, and it's kind of a mess now with all the stitching, but it'll be pretty strong. The trick is to attach it only to the interlining, not the outer fashion fabric. Tricky indeed.
Here's how it looks after I sewed the back pieces together:
Makes a lovely chair cover!
