I was thinking about upgrading a bodice I have with some thinner, patterned leather I acquired via rivets. Before I took the plunge, I realized that the outside of the bodice is %100 silk. Now, I love this bodice as is, and would love it even more if I could create my vision, but I'd rather not start hacking away at the silk only to ruin everything.
Does anyone have any tips, warnings, or other advice for a noob like me (who has finally learned, after impulsively diving in to projects, that it is always worth the wait to do it right).
