Boring one off query....

Does anyone know the best way to take in a PVC basque? I`m a little nervous about punching holes through PVC :shock:

Have ya tried stapling it while its on - get a nice snug fit that way ;)
:shock: :twisted:

You get less of a chance of ripping PVC if you stick electricians tape over the surfaces you are to sew.* Have to tape both bits, though. The tape will go slimy and peel off, if you get too hot in the PVC, mind.
*Kinda works in the same way as the 'pushing a pin into an inflated balloon' trick.

I found this solved the problem for me!

Just a hint for you -
Don't forget to put the tape on the inside :giggle:

Ignoring the last two posts.... flipa

Thing is, I have to dart it it the top (not the cup :smug smile

, and be buggered if it`ll crease right. I`m trying to tuck it under two of the boned bits. Mars thinks I`ll have to cut, and then sew it :shock:
PVC is very unforgiving, I`m seriously considering glue instead of having it rumple where I sew confused

Good thing you don't have implants, then! Pierce one of those, and you'd be sputtering around the room like a balloon! :high-smile:

I am not sure about this country, but I think there is a self adhesive ribbon at habberdasheries which you iron on clothes or stick on and then you can put stitches over it without the fear of tearing.
Can't the shop you bought it in have it done for you? Anyway, do tell us how you solved the problem! smile

leave the basque alone and eat cream cakes.
.....davej, simple solutions 'R' us............

Thankyou Calista. My only concern is that it took so long.
Clearly I am going to have to try harder :twisted:

I do apologise .... I was caught up in the chatroom with Shireen and Sarge and forgot my duty of stalking you ....

i would be tempted to fold it in - then super glue it.
pvc has a habit of ripping completely once u have damaged the structure even slightly by cutting it.

10 Feb 2005

i'm just thinking... i know bad sign for me.... but aint there a pvc glue.... i'm sure i got some in the cupboard i'll go make a coffe and check
Don't worry i'll leave my screne on this page so i don't lose the post and let you know...

nope sorry hun.... wood glue, white glue, doublesided tape, masking tape and a staple gun.... but you know when you know you've seen something with pvc and glue written on it... this will bug me now....
i'm gonna drink my coffee and have a think

10 Feb 2005

Now Ive got to qsk this, why would you want to take in a basque, is it ethical and have you cosnulted with said basque and asked its opinion?
Perhaps you could ring The Basque Party for further info and counseling?
