This is me at my most masochistic...

I'm starting to enjoy picking out warp threads to make fringe. Mwahahah !!!

For some reason, I was completely stressed out over attaching the peplum to the jacket yesterday, I turned the pieces in all directiosn and couldn't find a way to make it right. Today, I picked it up, gathered the remaining section of the peplum, pinne dit into position, sewed it. Done !
Yup, it seemed odd to me to, but it does seem like the original is gathered, if not cartridge-pleated. With the thickness of the quilted fabric, it gives quite a bit of oomph to the backside...

It hangs weirdly on the dummy, and I can't really try it on yet, without eyelets and without the waistcoat to go under it.

And this hasn't got anything to do with the quilted outfit, it's just stunningly beautiful...
