The sleevepattern that went wrong
Back
Start
Iron on cloth are the same as soft with
hard, this dress have ben washed once and one ironring came loose. The
cloth are torn. This is not period, if you se an ironring on a painting it
always lies on top of the cloth and are sewn in place
There is nothing wrong with ambitions. -But!
When I finished this hole Maria Magdalena ensemle, i wanted the sleeves too. I am still looking for similar cloth today.
I was looking for the cloth a
long time without any luck, untill i got the great idea to make the pattern
with goldbrocade and red velvet glued on it.
First i made a test and it looked allright. Then I made the pattern on a
papersleeve infront of the mirror. Scanned it and processed it in
Illustrator and Photoshop. It was a huge work. But the most effort
where when I cut the fine smal patternpieces out first in paper and
afterwards in velvet. I tryed it out and the sleeve got wery stiff only with
one pattern glued on and the edges got torn, so i was disappointed and throw it al away.
Above:Here you see another sleeve I had as a modell,the datapattern and the picture of Maria Magdalena.
Below: shows the finished paperpattern, and the large amount of red velvet i was about to destroy.
