lovetriangleRegarding the PDSvN dress, anyway.
I get hung up on projects when I attack a certain aspect of it and it doen't work/look the way I want it to. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I don't want to work on the entire thing again until I come up with a solution to the sticking point.
My current hang-up is the strapwork sections on the kirtle for the PDSvN dress. I like the look and everything is cut out but the silver soutache gets torn up by even a size 9 machine needle. I've done 3/4 of a panel by hand and my sticthing isn't fine enough - it looks lumpy and I'll have to tear it out.
I really want to do this by machine to make sure it sits flat on the sleeves. Not to mention there are 4 panels per sleeve and I'll be working on this to my grave if i try and do it by hand. Any suggestions?
Here's what the design looks like:
And here's the braid style - but all metallic.
