Weekend

Well, I FINALLY roll hemmed the 24 gore skirt. How long has that taken? I wore it with the lacey twisti to church and got a photo before I left (and braved the rain). It is SO wet here, but I digress............. Photo is not great, but it gives you the overall look. I got lots of compliments. I think it looks better than this photo portrays.



Sunday afternoon, I pulled out some linen/rayon that I had purchased for $1/yd and cut out Louise Cutting One Seams (long) capris and a skirt for Sis. I used Louise's method of a side hem slit on the capris. You just turn the hem up right sides together. Stitch a "v" at what would be the side seam (if one seams has a side seam). Turn rights sides out, and it's magic--you have a slit at the hem!

Also, not a great photo, but............ I'l been looking thru the stash to see if I can find some blue knit for a T to go with them.





Energy levels are down today. Blood pressure is 97/62 (very low for me). May have to ask doctor about adjusting BP meds.

  1. Great stuff. Did you serge roll the hem of the gored skirt? I can't imagine rolling a hemmer with a narrow hemming foot on the SM with that many seams to go over!
