No Bad Stitch Goes Uncovered
I can hear my grandmother’s voice from the grave, “that’s no sign of a properly made garment.”
As I studied further my “ta-ta” forms this afternoon, I recalled my mother once telling me that, when her mother was teaching her to sew, her mother (a professional seamstress) made her rip out a seam in a skirt 10 times until she got it “perfect.” So, after studying the forms I’m quite confident of their durability, but they really aren’t very pretty. Certainly the outside of the forms will be covered by the sculpture of the cacti, but the inside…well I simply can’t leave them unfinished. After all, that’s no sign of a properly made garment:)

one form lined, one more to go
i thought they were wonderful with the ribs showing…such perfect stiches… looking forward to seeing the work
