(Wasn’t that an inventive title?)
I’ve entered PatternReview’s Lingerie contest which started January 15th. I haven’t sewn a stitch yet but I have been working on the preliminaries (which I should have been doing before the start date!).
I hope to blog about my project two or three times a week.
Before the contest began, I chose my fabric. I got together a lot of potential fabric and trims, and tried various combinations until I eliminated nearly everything! lol I chose a purple sheer curtain (that was in my fabric stash because I liked the color but had no use for it as a curtain) and some off-white or ivory lace.
Here is the fabric, hanging over my shower curtain.
A close-up shot. The darker is the right side of the fabric.
The fabric is very sheer. In fact, too sheer for a single layer, in my opinion. It just doesn’t look good. I will be making a self fabric lining.
I’ve also chosen to use Kwik Sew’s Beautiful Lingerie to make a short gown. I was originally going to have sleeves but I have since decided against it, so I think I will being going mostly with “Gown A”.
