And in between it and the fashion fabric at the armholes you sandwiched the piping. That's the image I have, after scrutinizing your photos.<br /><br />Isn't a hefty notions stash a wonderful thing to have? No charging out in the middle of a project to find the right thing. Instead, it's there for the taking.

You're creativity really shines. And when it comes to the notions/trimming stash, I have stash envy. I came late to that realization and have been slowly building it up, but more often than not what stymies a project is something in the notions/trimming line. That is what I need to work on.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-90163725926039576332009-04-13T10:55:00.000-04:002009-04-13T10:55:00.000-04:00Carolyn, you are truly the most creative person.

It looks like you may have needed a bigger cap which is harder to put in cause the fabric has a harder (smoother and tighter with no give) finish - which makes it really hard to do the sleeve header, but you like it sleeveless, and that seems to have solved the problem. The bottom line is that you can wear it and use it. I admire your stick-to-it-tiveness!!!ClaireOKChttp://clairekennedydesign.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-8424683937183547522009-04-13T10:11:00.000-04:002009-04-13T10:11:00.000-04:00Carolyn, what a chic solution!
