How did it end up? It didn't work very much. Even the basted and pinned pieces slided on each other and in the end were different for at least half a centimeter. I really don't know how to sew velvet inteligently :'-(
I cut the seam allowances to half a centimeter.
I made these small cuts in the corners to turn the jags easily. You must always be careful no to cut a stitch. I also adapted the allowances at the tips.
Before turning it over, I took the liripipes and attached their seam allowances together with a few stitches.
Turned over, but I still didn't like the appearance of the jags. I handsewed the facial parts together.
I basted them roughly and sewed along the edge. It flattened them nice. I also did this at the face.
I'm quite curious what it will look like with the gardecorps:-)
Done.
