Nicole replied to the topic Help with fitting at back please! in the forum liesl + co: bistro dress 8 years ago
@thesimpson5 I am pretty new to this fitting business but I find if my seams are on the outside they are easier to adjust.

I finished my jeans. I had a few issues with the back yoke fit but I have that sorted now (I think), and have cut a second pair.

I finished 3 Deer and Doe tees and one drafted from a favourite body shirt (very fitted for wearing under shirts).
I am not sure what Modal actually is, @needlewoman (off to Google) but it is very stretchy with great recovery but tricky to handle.
I may have likened it to sewing snot 😉

Nicole replied to the topic Finishing knits in the forum oliver + s: school bus t-shirt 8 years ago
Hi @eboyd83.
The main thing, with hemming knits, is keeping enough ease and stretch so that the hem doesn’t ‘pop’ when being worn or put on and off.
I have a cover-stitch machine (which is great when it works). Before that, I used to neaten the raw edge with a zig zag, turn press and then stitch with a large stitch (3.5) stretching in the fabric…[Read more]

I just made myself a Deer and Doe Plantain tee in navy cotton/modal with (much to my daughters horror) silver sleeve patches.
I love it, although sewing modal is a slippery business.
@Liesl I was lucky that is was sized for him so I didn’t have to fit at all. I enjoyed it but I am ready to move on to some quicker projects.
I can’t wait to see…[Read more]

I finished my sons blazer, finally. It was a big sew. I now know why Liesl is not keen to make a kiddy size pattern…
Next, jeans for me!

I love a shorter gown with matching knickers. Simple batiste with maybe some pin tucking?

@rebecca, it is much faster then a household machine and far more powerful.
It will sew a buttonhole on anything, even canvas (I am talking about tarp canvas).It has a range of stitches, just like a domestic one.
I adore it.
