Serendipity Lady dress<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I ripped all the paper off of Serendipity Lady, as mentioned<\/a>. When I turned it over, I realized that the fabric had ripped or pulled away from the stitching and needed to be repaired.<\/p>\n

Mostly, I looked at the tear for awhile, trying to decide the least difficult way to fix the problem. I didn’t really want to rip the whole thing out and do it over, though that was one option. <\/p>\n

The other option was to trim the top edge. I was kind of excited about that option, because I think it could add to the look of the piece. The blue dot I used doesn’t provide a lot of contrast with the white of the skin. A trim could add some much needed contrast.<\/p>\n

If I did it right, it would look like trim on a dress. I thought about rick-rack, though I don’t know if I have any. Mom does, but I have other options, too. I have a load of Renaissance ribbon. If I found the right ribbon, it might work with the fabric I used for the dress. I also thought about bias tape. I loved sewing the bias tape down for the Red Scribbles<\/a> quilt.<\/p>\n

I am not sure what other options there. I am going to test out a few of these and see what I come up with. <\/p>\n

This is UFO challenge project #1 and I may not make the deadline, but at least I am working on the piece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
