I started my bodice outer layer…<\/p>\n

Oopsie, I forgot to baste the silk to another layer; it’s not as flimsy as I thought and I was just on a roll and went straight to sewing. I’d hate to rip all that out and weaken the material. Will only 2 layers in the bodice be horrible? I have various weights of cotton for the lining, some quite sturdy. Plus boning.<\/p>\n

However, I always bag-line which I know is wrong (it’s just so clean and tidy!). So how am I *supposed* to line this?<\/p>\n

Is this where the dreaded piping comes in? Eeeek! Somebody hold me.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t guessed by now, I’m going in no linear progression with this costume…<\/p>\n

They tell me of my bodice mistake, on our Y!Group<\/em><\/p>\n

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!<\/p>\n

There has to be another way. Pleasepleaseplease tell me there’s something you do about matching up things and basting them together and piping and stuff.<\/p>\n

Because unpicking seams will ruin the piece I’ve cut, guarantee it. They’ll be weak, torn, wobbly, frayed, and useless.<\/p>\n

I thought flatlining was only to give additional strength to fabrics! Because I flatline and *then* bag-line usually. Flatlining by itself wouldn’t be much of a lining.<\/p>\n

*looks for puddle to drown self in*<\/p>\n
