I did a fun project and a freakin’ terrible not so fun project. The fun project was a petticoat! I found a very straight forward tutorial on American Duchess.
It was great. It was fast, I cut the fabric zip, zap, zam, it was done. Magical. Then I started on the stays. *dun dun dunnnn* I’m thinkin’, ok I bought a pattern for this thing so how bad can it be? I’ll just follow the instructions and it’ll be fine.
Nope.
