The challenge #2 is due tomorrow. The challenge was to finish an unfinished project.
The only unfinished projects I had were:
A. corset hip padding
B. fix my fan
C. upsize my blouse pattern and create a mockup
The first 2 are quick little projects and the third is, for me, a huge project.
The Corset Hip Padding:
The Fan:
I found this fan about 25 years ago. It has beautiful carved sticks, but as you can see, one of them had been broken. This is what I planned to fix for the challenge.
The material on the fan was in fairly good shape when I first found it, but it had a bit of wear. In order to stabilize the fabric so I could use it I covered the fabric with a black sheer material.
This morning I super glued the broken stick. I haven't cleaned up the excess glue yet.
It was actually harder to do than I thought it would be because it was hard to manipulate without getting some glue on the other sticks. I certainly didn't want them to get stuck together.
And the third project is the Blouse I've been working on. I'm not going to have this one done by tomorrow!
I am working on the trim which has to be done before the back opening can be finished. I'm about one third donel as of tonight.
