Accidentally trimmed seam-allowance and the added piece to solve the problem |
After finishing my Specialist Practice Project at the Arts University College at Bournemouth I am continuing this blog to include my Extended Major Project. This is my last project before graduation and is a theoretical project. I am making two costumes based on children's book illustrations by the artist Sarah Gibb. I will be updating my progress each week, with reflections and evaluations throughout. Anything labelled EMP is relevant to my Extended Major Project

Trimming Mistake
I've made a small mistake while doing some trimming on the inside of Princess Colour's corset. Instead of trimming the black lining fabric I trimmed the cream fabric that needed to fold over the black fabric. Opps. So my solution was to trim the black fabric as I should have originally. And then I cut a thin piece of the cream fabric folded over an edge and slip-stitched it to the little seam allowance I hadn't trimmed off. Then continued as usual as if I hadn't made the mistake and folded it over and slip stitched it like the rest of the seams. I think this was a rookie mistake but I think this was a good solution for it and a good lesson in problem solving.
