Once the
parts were cut, I ruched the flat pieces of silk. Each fabric takes on a new life once it's gathered and textured this way. (Left, flat fabric. Right, one ruched seam. Click the picture to see a larger view.)
Above, after I ruched the fabric, I layered it over interfacing for stability. I then prepped the mint green lining by sewing in the orange tag.
This gold fabric is a great example of how a muted material becomes striking when ruched. The sheen of the silk has a special luster that nearly glows in the light. (Click the picture to see a larger view.)
Next stop, Ashley's work station to be completed and embellished.
