I bought an assload of this bird chiffon when I saw it. So cute! Finally, FINALLY I have finished my slip using the 1940′s pattern (that I tweaked a fair amount).
I learned a fair amount about what a giant bitch working with chiffon is. Next time it will be easier. I do love that about making mistakes. I have LEARNED!
Like, for instance, do not let a cute little projectlike this kick around your craft studio for a year. Why? Well, when you do finally finish it you will be kicking yourself for not finishing sooner. Also, super ravel y (or, more appropriately UNRAVELY) material will get all jacked up and unravel in very unhappy ways if you mistreat it. So don’t!
I think a serger would really have made this project so much easier as trying to fake serge the edges of this was a huge bitch. If I had had a finer needle for my machine and maybe one of those plates with a smaller throat plate…
La! I’m so happy I finished!

Hey,
I love your top. Very hot. I have been desperately searching for some of that fabric. Would you be willing to part with a few yards or tell me where you found it?
Thanks!
