Starting over

One of the most challenging parts is getting everything right from the start.
When I did the basting of canvas and outer layer it all felt ok and was given the aprove stamp by my tutor. When you bast them together you stretch the fabric firmly with one hand so there is enough canvas on the inside. Day two when the outer layer had stretched back the canvas was way too big! When you do the patt smothing motion one does when checking if the amount is right from the cloth side it felt fine weirdly enough. On the back side you can see that it clearly was not.
I had to remove everything and start over. Not stretching but patting the fabric over the canvas this time as this technique was the best for an airy cloth as mine. This took me the entire morning. 3 hours to get back to where I was when I left the day before.
The time for this “error” will not be on my time report as I now only clock how long each moment takes me. Not how long the hole process took.

I also did the front line and even there the fabric had shifted tremendously from original pattern and I had to trace it again.The stay tape did not take as long as I feard. I meassured everything thoroughly and did a tack from the outside putting my stay place twords that tack instead of just 1 cm in from the edge which can be wrong. That speeded up the process some.
