Let's talk about Foundation Garments, okay?
I'm cleaning house. I'm looking through a lot of my old attempts at this topic and trying to makes since of them.
As I skim through past projects and research and other mis-steps of this nature, I've come to the conclusion that everything I attempted to make, alter, or do has resulted in mediocre faire. It's time to make that right.
The cutest patch I've ever made!
A friend of mine has this lovely sharkskin vintage dress. From the details; the extended button front, the full pleated skirt and the reversed box pleated back, I'd say this number is from '47-'52.
Making the Bra Pt 5
I'm running out of everything! First my scanner, now this!
This thread has been a dream to sew with, and now I have to go back to my crappy thread. Stupid looper for being a thread hog!
