[@four1629]

i really love that you gave us a couple minutes of petticoat swish. i'm addicted to how gorgeous and otherworldly it is

[@dchaissejohnsier]

Nice, I've been following this project for months now. I commend you for undertaking such a massive project all by yourself. That must be daunting to take on so many tasks such as patterning, cutting stitching, etc. All these are normally separate jobs in a costume shop. Some things I learned with working with these fabrics is to baste before cutting so that the fabric doesn't manipulate itself., and also using stabilizer while sewing seams so that the Seans themselves don't stretch causing uneven hems.. Normally, you can troubleshoot a lot of these factors but with 9lbs of fabric, the extra stress on the under layers does end up with a less than symmetrical shape. Again, you are doing the work of 25 people, and it looks beautiful. Just figured I'd chime in, because I love what you do.

[@ln8784]

Baste before cutting what ? (This is helpful to me too haha)

[@dchaissejohnsier]

@@ln8784 you baste the delicate fabrics together before cutting them. you can't use weights because that also can stretch it. and the scissors cause the fabric to also slide slightly. I even seen people cut really delicate chiffon while it was hanging in order to get a good cut. Cutting is an art form in itself and very different.... it can really delay stitching when fabric isn't cut and marked correctly.

[@ln8784]

@@dchaissejohnsier ahh thank you! Do you only need to do this when she’s working with 2 or more layers ontop of eachother? It would be a Crazy amount of extra time if you did it for every single piece

[@dchaissejohnsier]

@@ln8784 I would do it on all seems. A teflon foot might help the pulling as well. It is time consuming and costly. That’s why I commend her on doing the work of probably 5-10 people. Sewing is always a ticking time bomb. It is always 10,000 times more complicated then it looks.

[@ln8784]

@@dchaissejohnsier wait just so I get it right, are you supposed to baste every single piece before you cut anything out of the fabric , or only baste together the seams of 2 pieces of already cut fabric , before sewing them down and attaching them ?
