It’s only a paper stomacher…<\/p>\n

\"Stomacher<\/a>

Stomacher pattern<\/p><\/div>\n

The easiest thing to pattern. Just stick some paper under the francaise and draw a shape. Smooth out the lines. *Ta da* It’s a stomacher. For the actual item, I used an inner layer of white mid-weight canvas-y stuff, covered w\/the pink silk on both sides and the sari fabric on the front, all hand-sewn since it was fussy little edge whip-stitching.<\/p>\n

The sleeve ruffles took longer to figure out.<\/p>\n

\"Final <\/a>

\"First <\/a>

Two patterning passes to get the right size. Bigger is better!<\/p>\n

As with everything, a layer of pink silk backs the sari fabric for umph.<\/p>\n

Took a few pleats in the sari fabric to mimic the ruffle curve. I seem to recall a way of curving the sewn edge of the ruffle to get straight embellished border edges to fit on a curved ruffle nicely. I futzed with it for a little bit but couldn’t remember how that worked and bailed.<\/p>\n

That’s kind of the story of these sleeves — I know there are things I could have done to make them tidier and prettier, but I just didn’t want to waste time messing with it. They work as-is, and I’ve made notes on the pattern pieces if I want to work it out in a future project.<\/p>\n

Started having fun with the wavy roller blade…<\/p>\n

\"Making<\/a>

Making some trim!<\/p><\/div>\n

It is super-cool!<\/p>\n

Here’s a trim idea for the skirt:<\/p>\n
