I have cut the fabric pieces for #TheAngelicaGown, finally!

I strategically bought slightly too little fabric because the shop only sells in 50cm increments and I'd have been left with extra. I cut out the bodice pieces individually from single layers for maximum efficiency, and am now piecing together the skirt pieces. Last photo is what I have left over!

#Sewing #18thCentury

A photo of a ginger tabby cat resting on a rather loud flower pattern fabric that has been laid out on the floor to cut it. The base colour is a petrol blue, but the red and light green flowers are the much more prominent element. The cat seems determined but also like he knows he's not supposed to be where he is.
A photo of the piecing process. The main body of the piece is smaller than the paper pattern below it, and smaller pieces of the same fabric have been basted on with loose big stitches by hand, nearly seamlessly matching the pattern on the fabric. Several pieces are needed to make up the entire skirt piece.
A photo looking down on a rather small pile of extremely small fabric scraps. It doesn't look like it could be feasibly used even for quilting, the pieces are such slim slivers. A bigger length of the already cut skirt pieces is in the frame, as well as Sini's toes and a sewing supplies tin.

The fabric colour is definitely not well represented here, because there's a storm outside and the light isn't very good, nor does my phone camera know what to do with teal.

@ashinonyx It's a historical reproduction print, and quite bit more loud in person. 😄​ It was on sale sometime last year so I just had to get it!

@Silversong I used to have teal hair, it's one of my favourite colours! It has been some time since I've made clothes with it, but this print spoke to me

@apparentlyrolly To be fair, he listened to me when I explained to him that he can gently lean on it, as long as it doesn't crumple up the bit I was working on. 😄​

I did not know this hashtag! Kerv probably doesn't quite quality: he's incredibly clever but also incredibly unwise. He knows how to open doors, use the human toilet, how to get inside a cupboard... But he also doesn't see any reason why chewing on the aluminium blinds or eating paper to get my attention would be a bad idea

@Sini Tuulia congratulations on the self control for not buying extra fabric “I can always make some accessory from the leftovers” :D

(I'm absolutely not speaking from experience, more like regular practice)

But the satisfaction in having only a tiny pile of small scraps is something!

@valhalla Thank you! It was kinda expensive as heck, as per usual, and this may have been one of the motivating factors. 😄​ I was also solidly riding on the hubris of accidentally having made #TheAmaliaJacket with a full 1m less fabric than advised by the instructions, when buying, so here we are 😂​
