Next project: a cropped jacket. This is to wear over my previously posted green bustier dress in case it is cold on the day of the wedding.

Here's a quick tip for sewing facings: when joining pieces, such as at the side seams, try topstitching the seam allowances open at 3mm or 1/8". This holds them open during laundering, making ironing easier. It can also compress the seam if the fabric is bulky. And the best news is that you don't even have to underpress it - no getting up to the ironing board just to press a couple of inches!

Progress made on my green dress in the weekend:

A quick tutorial on how to blockfuse! This is the best way to get accurate fused pieces, and is how we fuse whole pieces in the garment industry. It solves the problem of different shrinkage rates between fusing and fabric, and also saves time - something we all need!
