I tried out the scallops again today, smaller scallops even, to fit the scale of my petite lingerie bag.
I did a little research and found a fashion design blog called Vain & Vapid with a post on scallops. The name of the blog made me giggle for quite a while... Thread also had a very in depth article on the subject. I must say that even after applying all and everything from the articles I still had some puckering on the apex. Just not as much puckering.
The new bag is about a quarter the size of yesterday's effort and I think this time it should be a tad larger to contain a largish soutien-gorge maybe.
The book I read about in Glamour, having checked it out from the library only today, I can so far say that it's beyond adorable and reasonably vegetarian friendly.

A most fabulous read and I loved reading all the little stories....almost an autobiography in a cook book.

ps. if you link to the BBC food site and type in Delicious Miss Dahl under the 'find recipes for programme' then you will find a host of other recipes to accompany the programme 'The Delicous Miss Dahl' that she did for the BBC earlier this year in the UK which was heavenly. Unfortunately though it is no longer on IPlayer, but well worth the watch if you can track it down.

Looks like Vain & Vapid had some puckering at the apex too. The Threads article is so indepth! They always inspire me. Your bags are very sweet!

Sophie Dahl has a book out? I adore her Hubby, Jamie Cullem. Quite addicted to his latest album. Covering Rhianna?

Well I think your scallops look great! I love these two bags! They'd be great for hiding lots of sewing bits and pieces that I have hanging around without homes.
Sophie's cooking programmes were very enjoyable here in the UK and there are snippets on Youtube if you want to look at them - search "delicious miss dahl".
