Eileen, Technical session


Sample bodice
Don't forget that we're doing period "overlocked" darts, meaning that the darts are getting sliced open and the seam allowance is going to be scalloped and then wipe stitched around the edges

The rest of the seams on the bodice can be overlocked by machine

-Cut out lining and sew back panels together, then sew front panels together DO NOT attach panels at side seams

-we'll be using millinery peter-shim (as it is firm and can be ironed into a curve) to go along the inside front edge as a facing. This will add reinforcement 
-Machine sew petershim on first, then iron into curve

FOR NEXT WEEK
-get lining ready
-machine sleeve together
-draft cuff and cut out
-bring decorations
-note the sleeve will need darts in at the elbow
-clip at any pulling points
-line cuff with stiffener
