Petticoats - Rose

Finally got to do the Rose petticoats - I think it really helped having a tutorial to clarify what roles Amber and I should be taking on. So now I am concentrating on the making parts, and Amber will be organising. Each petticoat is a full circle with a hole cut out which will be the elasticated waist (so that one size fits all) and then lots of ruffles. I sewed on the first set of ruffles and then dyed everything before sewing on more ruffles in different colours. It took longer than I thought because uni didn't have any purple dye so I had to bring everything home and dye the purple bits in the bath, which was a challenging experience! But I am happy with the outcome, and after emailing the pictures of them over to Frances she says she loves them so I'm hoping that that is another issue out of the way and dealt with.

Reflection: I have learnt, again, to allow enough time for things to go wrong - after there was no dye in uni I had to get my own and dye in the bath which took a lot longer than I was expecting! But I had enough time to manage it, so I think the petticoats have turned out well.
