I’ve never used an overlocking stitch before, but my new sewing machine has a few to choose from. However, I already spent a couple of weeks trying out its functions on “test” projects, that I was eager to dive into a “real” project and didn’t finish testing the many functions. Maybe after I finish this, I will try the overlock.
Flat-felled seams are the kind used on denim and on men’s dress shirts. I saw the technique in a British sewing mag when I was in England and loved it! I’m making this dress out of chambray, so I thought it might be charming and help make the dress more casual. I’m really partial to totally finished seams, so I definately need to learn a bound seam.
In the end, I didn’t think the playdate sleeves were a good fit for this, so I just pinked them. It was getting late and I ran out of determination to find another solution. But I really am interested in finding a nice way to finish armscyes.
