In the welt pocket construction steps the seam allowances of the welt/pocket bag seam are pressed towards the pocket bag (then held there when the sides of the pocket are closed)

Yet the trouser assembly picture does indeed seem to show this seam pressed open. (first image below).

You’re all so lovely to do this!

Oh no, that sounds awful — hope he’ll be ok.

I did four hours of ironing last night.
Slightly less enamoured of it at present.

We are heading into very hot weekend, 40d+.
Thank goodness for our swimming pool.

I get very nervous as we live on the edge of a National Park, bush fire risk is always there.

I have some very exciting news. My husband purchased me a van for Christmas.
I have been researching then for two years and I am so excited to have one.
It seats 12 adults…[Read more]

How kind of you Helena.

I finished Trixie’s turn of the sewing rota and I am getting stuck into Tildy’s.
