Front of the polonaise
Very little work left!
I’ve had a lot of problems with the front closure. I can’t use pins, so I tried hooks and eyes; it didn’t work. Finally, after much thinking I did it the period way, but instead of ribbon, I used embroidery thread to tie it closed. It was easy and it looks a lot better 🙂 Lining wasn’t so problematic as when I try to bagline something, 18th century lining techniques were more «intuitive», and with them I didn’t have any problem figuring out how to do the sleeves, that are the next I’ll be working on.
Estoy deseando verlo acabado, seguro que queda genial aunque menudo trabajo no debes de estar pasando para hacerlo en pequeño.
Ya está acabado, aunque estoy esperando a poder hacer unas fotos bonitas para enseñarlo entero. 🙂
La verdad es que para mí no es tanto trabajo, porque estoy acostumbrada a hacer las cosas en pequeño. Casi me da más problemas coser para persona, ¡me pierdo entre tanta tela! XD
