Ellen, just think how easy it will be to ease things — sleeves, hems — with all those long seams. A nice break from hemming size 0-3m sleeves with tweezers 🙂
I am prancy with excitement over the Gallery tunic and am working on the FBA while watching an interesting documentary by Ric Burns (who knew there were two of them!) about NY.

Yes, goes all the way through both layers. Visible stitches should be quite small and farther apart than feels natural.

Is that what that stitching is? Our accountant had a smart new suit on and I noticed it.

Oh, ok. Well, a pick stitch is basically a backstitch that has lots of space between each stitch–it travels on the back side so you have long floats. (If that sounds like I’m speaking Martian, sorry.) I’ll definitely do a tutorial soon.
The vest looks great! Happy graduation!

It would be too late for this one…it is for preschool graduation. But, I’m planning another in a flax linen for a wedding mid-June and would LOVE to know how before then! YES PLEASE!!
I ended up under-stitching everywhere I could reach on this one, and I think it is going to work out fine. Now to pick buttons and a shorts pattern. I’m on…[Read more]

Oh, I’d love to teach you how to do this and I’ve always meant to do a tutorial for it! Let me see if we can find time to do it in the next couple of weeks, ok? Or is that too late? I think I recall an article in Threads magazine years ago about it if you need it sooner. They were pick stitching a back zipper on a dress and adding beads to the…[Read more]

I’m working on a vest and have decided that edge stitching with my machine gives a more casual vibe than I’m going for. However, it annoys me greatly when the lining rolls out on the edge. So, I thought about pick stitching like on men’s suits. Does anyone know of any tutorials or done this before? Is it just a running stitch?

Happy Birthday to dear sweet baby Olivia!
Today, I plan to keep going on the pink things. It is quite chilly here at the moment so I will pull out that last piece of pink fur and see if I can’t make a warm hat for Chloe from it. Sewing will be cut short today though due to collecting the kids from school and a much needed run to town.
But there…[Read more]
