Maker Monday - The 1950s Vintage Dress continues...

Have you ever looked in your fabric stash...thought, yes, this will look great in this shape, not thinking about all the prep that needed for it?

This is very much my world at the moment!

My vintage dress journey now involves reinforcing the seams with fusible interlining 😕

The linen can (and does) stretch despite it being fully prepped, so i have cut stirpes of fusible interlining and ironed them to my edges to reinforce them. Its has the same effect as stay-stitching but can give stability for longer. 

Hopefully it should be finished in time for my workshop on Saturday!
