I Take on the Scallops

Here again is the inspiration dress. Not a note for note copy, more like collaborating with the past.

Here's how I manged the scallops. First I cut out the pattern on card stock, measuring the hem and dividing it by the number if scallops I wanted.

I drew the pattern on the lining, and pinned it. Then I crossed  my fingers and sewed.

And it worked!  I cut out the scallops very close to the sewing then turned and pressed.

So far so good. Now let's see if the other side cooperates.
