I thought the tail of the R would look better when I added a fabric strip below it and the end would be covered by the seam allowance. But the angle of the tail was wrong.
So I took it apart.
Somehow the piece got turned upside down and I thought maybe it was an easy fix.
This fixes the problem...
but I don't like the look of it.
I tell my students that very often it's just more efficient to start over, so that's what I did. The top letter should answer the questions about what I do with "duds" or leftovers. I generally recycle what I can.
This was a vast improvement, but the top part of the R was too wide and too heavy.
Even though I had already sewn the background piece to the right of the letter, it was an easy fix. I sewed that seam again, just took a larger seam allowance.
Now I'm happy.
HAH - I'm not the only one who takes letters apart and repurposes portions to make a newer version. LOL
ReplyDeleteYep, my observation was the tail of the R was to skinny for the size of the other strips in the R. Good luck. Love your blog.
