Today, In a bid to get ahead and keep on top of all my different projects I made a complete mess of my silk organza and have had to start again on a new piece of silk organza.
Despite knowing how important it is to take your time when making the pleats, as they all need to be exactly the same size, I thought I could beat the system and cheat. Oh how I was wrong.
I'm frustrated with myself for this as it was a stupid mistake to make because I was well aware of how patient you needed to be for this part, especially as its the main detailing on the front of the blouse.
Having marked all my lines I simply machined all of the pleats without going to the iron after each one to press it and make it straight. Instead I waited until the end when I pressed the whole thing in one go, burnt the fabric and wasted a perfectly good bit of fabric.
This has been a big learning curve for me as I've experienced first hand why it's important to take your time and not rush as I have wasted money that wasn't budgeted which is unprofessional and wasteful.
