So instead of crying over ruining this beautiful wool/camel coating I've decided to use the wrong side of the fabric on the panels that I ruined.
Difference between sides is not extremely obvious
Here is what it would look like, I shaded the pieces that would show the reverse of the fabric by necessity (they have marks) and I figure to balance it I would make the tabs on the sleeves out of the reverse.
The right side of this fabric as you saw in one of my previous posts is fluffier almost like a velour.
So what would you do? I'm calling my solution a "design feature". Would you just use the reverse and call it a day?
Really this coat needs to be made, it has been weighing on me for far too long
Hi. I think your solution is brilliant and will not at all distract from the beauty of your coat. Definitely a "design feature"!
ReplyDeleteExcellent solution! Had the marks been smaller, I might have suggested camoflaging with machine stitching (stitch over the marks, and then continue stitching to make an all-over pattern), but I don't think that would have worked in this case. Your solution should work well, not only will it save the coat, it will add some extra interest to it.
ReplyDeleteTotally a design feature!
ReplyDeleteI am sure your subconscious wanted this, because it is an awesome idea, and cannot be a random "error."
ReplyDeleteI say Design Feature!
