Interfacing... I Hope It Works!

One of my earlier attempts at a corset used pink satin as the “fashion layer” and plain white denim on the inside. Despite my best efforts, the satin puckered at the seams. Makes you wanna cry!


Then, in stressing over this current project and dreading the same result, I had an epiphany. Interfacing!! Why didn't I think of it before? So I did a little test piece. What a difference.


After cutting my satin brocade this time, I have ironed-on lightweight fusible interfacing to each piece. I'm not 100% happy with how it seems to be shriveled looking on the inside. I used a medium low heat setting on my iron. The outside appears to be OK... jeez, I don't know. If faced with the worst case scenario, let's look on the bright side. I have extra fabric and it's only September!
