We were working on the sides of the pattern pieces filling in the outer edges, mainly black. This is when we ran out of feathers and had to wait for the company to bring us more. This meant that we had some parts of the skirt thinner than the rest which would have to be filled in with more fluffier feathers when they arrived.
This was very difficult to do as the thread would get caught in the surrounding feathers and you would need to use something to help move them out of the way. This would take a lot longer time than we have.
Once all the feathers were sewn I then had to take off two sides of the frame and flip it over so that I could cut out the tacking threads and neaten off the back. Then rest of it could be taken off the rest of the frame and put to the side.
Hopefully the skirt will be shown as a full garment in march when it goes on tour and the stop motion film taken by hand and lock will be shown. This film is a sped up version of us all sewing the final stages of the skirt.
