damn satin


this dress is based on Butterick B5211, i saw this matte satin at Spotlight on sale, i had to have it, knowing slippery fabric is so hard to work with....

And yap, it's a disaster, I unpick the hem 3 times, i tried blind hem, rolled hem, hand stitch, no matter what i do, it just looked wrong!! look:

if i unpick it yet again, i'm gonna ruin the fabric or ended up with a dress to short. at the end (and out of frustration) i decided to chop it, string a skinny elastic through it so that i can hide the funny hem. then i got this:

i made a rose brooch out of the scrap, i'm happy now :)
