If I was to line the sleeves I would cut and sew a second sleeve, from lining fabric,put wrong sides together,finish the cuff,set in the sleeve and then bind the arm hole seam.

Finally got to cutting a toile and I went with the size 8 with the length of the 12.
I am very pleased as is my daughter. I took a cm or so off all the seams above the waist as we wanted it quite fitted. If I make it for play I will go with the standard size 8 with a little length.
The pattern was completely true to her…[Read more] -

I have just re-stocked and paid between $8 and $12.95 a metre.
I am not a student but I can understand how that my seem a lot if you are watching your budget.

I am very miserly and save all my scraps for shoulder…[Read more] -

You could overlock,turn and topstitch,Or make a narrow band(ribbing) or bind it with the same fabric?
Good luck Sandi.xn -

I bought the combo Suse(rather hubby bought it for me),big mistake-royal pain in the bum to swap over!
A small tip,my cover stitch doesn’t like fat seams,so when I hem I fold the side seam in opposite directions above and below the seam(twist it),so that I am stitching one seam layer instead of double. It presses up nicely.
Yours may not have that…[Read more] -

I am finishing up 3 pair of sailboat pants in denim for the older girls. After that , I have 3 brunch jackets to make.
My next pattern to draft is the brunch jacket in size 5 for Liddy, then cut out 2 for her. I will be making one in a pinwale cord rose pink with a brown floral, the other I am not too sure! She is quite keen on some lilac pinwale…[Read more]
