I had set in the sleeves perfectly and was busily clipping the curves around the
armscye when - snippet! In one short, sharp movement I had cut a *hole* in the
underarm of the bodice!!!
I can't believe I did that!
*How* could I have done that!?
I cried and cried! DH thought I'd gone mad (I had!) One moment, I was singing
merrily along with my DH (who is a singer and who was practicing 'The Rainbow
Connection') and the next I was racing around the house (about as effectively as
eleventy-leven stone of hot, throbbing me can race), tearing my hair out!
How *could* I have done that????
See, the piece I cut is right in the apex where the sleeve seam meets the
underarm and side seams. It's actually completely within the front bodice piece,
but right at the junction of the seams. If I had to cut a hole, at least it's in
the very best possible spot. The hole is diamond-shaped and about half an inch
by one inch. I had to put it away and leave it alone for today - couldn't bear
to look at it!
So, the next question is: how am I going to disguise this hairy-great cavity in
the DD's armpit?
I thought to simply patch it with a small piece of lightweight iron-on
interfacing. Thing is, I doubt the (very synthetic) satin fabric is going to
support the heat required to fuse on the interfacing.
Woe is me! Gratefully hoping for any and all advice (and sniffing a *lot*!)
