I accepted a little commission to elaborate a waistband; a neighbor bought 2 child courtship dresses for her 2 little daughters (do you know those flower girls who throw blossoms on the bride’s path to the altar? well those) buuut those attires were too big for them.
In order to save the investment and make the oldest daughter’s dress look tighter, I was commissioned to make a waistband/belt with "a big flower" 🌺 👀
Almost all the time, I do this kind of work by night because when the moon shines upon me, I’m just like a fat kitten, that’s the reason behind the bad quality of the pictures, sowwy ~ 🌙 💦 😹

✔ Take it to the sewing machine, using Stitch No.3 and needle No.10.
✔ Turn around and iron the piece at mild temperature.
✔ Cut 1 stripe of 6 cm width x [the length of the piece resulting from the Satin and the Lining placed together] of Petticoat Tulle.
✔ Place the stripe of tulle inside the “belt”, and close it with invisible stitch by hand.
✔ Hand sew the clasps at the end of the waistband.
« Making the Rose »
• Photos by @Tesmoforia, with a Lumix/Panasonic DMC-FH2.
✔ Cut a stripe of 8 cm width of Japan Satin/Charmuse, x (at least) 1,5 meters length.
✔ Fold in half, and fix with small pins.

✔ Loosely sew it with 1 single piece of thread, and medium stitch (approximately 1 cm).
✔ When you reach the end, pull from the thread and slightly push the fabric backwards, in order to form the “ruches/waves” of the rose.
✔ Close one end with invisible stitch.

✔ [OPTIONAL] Use a regular needle, and make stitches at the base of the rose as you go.

✔ When the desired size and volume is reached, the excess is cut and the base of the rose is tightly squeezed.
✔ Load the needle with thread once again, and sew a trillion of time in different directions through the base of the rose, 1 or 2 cm from its end [ok, no a trillion; only until we feel that by releasing it, it won’t lose its shape].

✔ ✨ Enjoy the satisfying and fluffy result ✨
✔ Sew the rose to the waistband with a stitch that crosses the center of the flower, and finally its ends.

To those of us who are still in Venezuela, I know it feels like time has stopped, that all will still getting worse, and how each day it seems more and more difficult to survive, HOWEVER: The resourcefulness of the human being is a brilliant thing; no book will teach us what we have learned.
