Jackys step by step, old boat, I sanded down the boat , then painted it white ( off course) then copied the sails onto lace fabric, the original had eyelets on the sails, I put vintage buttons on instead then I put it altogether again, sanded down some of the edges to give it the worn look. And there you have it.
Another step by step, more photos to come. I purchased off the internet a dress pattern in a PDF form, printed it out, it took 65 pages, most only with lines on them. I then cellotaped them altogether and cut out the pattern, the sleeve pattern you can see the joins. This is a very loose fitting style and it fitted really well, even got the sleeves fitting nicely. I will take more of the finished piece.
Welcome back sis. very nice the sailing ship. It looks quite big. I am interested to see your patern. Under sewing I pinned some paterns that should do the styles we like so have a look.

ReplyDeleteyacht looks wonderful but you missed all the steps to the end. saw a couple of other steps for the sewing. Like the last one showing you stitching.
