Dress Diary: de Ingham Surcote - Construction
After two separate chalkings of the pieces, I've finally cut and started putting it together. I did most of the long seams with the machine, but have done the two side seams and the centre front seam--as well as putting the sleeves together--by hand. I think all the rest of the sewing will be by hand, as it's all finicky stuff like setting in the sleeves.
I used the same pattern from my red dress, but added a much larger seam allowance so it'll be just a teeny bit bigger--hopefully enough to fit over the red dress without incident.
Am still not entirely sure what to do about attaching the fur. I think I'd like to make it removable so that I can machine wash the linen part of it after Pennsic.
