cut-cloth hose
Jul. 18th, 2011 09:46 am I'm making my HB a pair of bias-cut cloth hose based on the pattern in the Tudor Tailor.
It's working okay in mockup stage, but the one problem I keep running into is that the top of the foot will not lie smoothly; it twists. I could just let it twist, and shift the pattern, but the line of true bias is supposed to run directly down the front of the leg and foot. If I shift the foot, the bias line will run straight down the leg and then around the foot.
It wouldn't bother me, but in the book they say to absolutely not do this. It's a nitpicky detail, but I want to get it right, since I am going to the bother to make cloth hose at all.
Help, please?
