More Pin Tucks.....

When I thought pin tucks couldn't get any worse, I then had these to deal with. They were such a nightmare to get my head around as the width of each one was so small that trying to get an equal distance in-between them was very very tricky! Using my machine foot as a guide I intensively sewed my way through each tuck slowly and carefully. This was so hard however the results are evident. If you take your time over it they will look far better. My first attempt was not perfect as I was still getting my head around how tiny each tuck was! What I found really helped me was using the machine foot as a guide.

I have learnt as a costume maker that practice makes perfect, and you will never be good at something until you have sampled the technique at least once beforehand.
