Do you have some very sheer interfacing to give it some strength before sewing the tiny seams?

It is very beautiful.

Thanks, Nicole. Unfortunately this photo is after doing just that. I think I should redo. I just hope I don’t botch it given the trimmed and clipped seam allowances.

New patterns released, which is great!
The cooking and cleaning can wait
