I’m bumping this thread rather than starting a new one, because of the photos posted above. If I want to add a sheer fabric at the bottom edge of the skirt, which will extend below it, so it looks like a double layer, how best would I do that? I was thinking at first of inserting my sheer fabric between the hem and the hem facing, where the pink…[Read more]

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.

I hope you had a good holiday Liesl and,yes,so far so good!
Thank you.

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.

Do try it, Sandi, and show us how it’s done!

You could overlock,turn and topstitch,Or make a narrow band(ribbing) or bind it with the same fabric?

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.
