Sewing

I made quality checks at this point by checking that the size of the seams were all 1 1/2cm wide. This assured me that the size and shape of the final product would not be comprimised by uneven or inaccurate seams.

Once I had sewn all the seams I needed to iron them open to prepare them for attaching the boning. When it came to ironing the velvet seams I was careful not to apply too much pressure which would damage the pile of the velvet and therefore effect the colour and quality.
