Weekly  Wardrobe

Just Some Hemming Left

Thank you all for the compliments on the Wedding Suit so far!  I really appreciate you reading and following the progress!

Even with the Wedding Suit, I've managed to almost squeeze in another piece for my daughter's school wardrobe.  What has helped is that I'm using a pattern that I've already made once, New Look 6722.

The reason that I didn't quite get this one finished is that I wanted to make the top for the Wedding Suit first, then change all the thread cones over to the coverstitch machine and hem both garments.  If you look carefully, you can see the pins holding the hems in place.


So far, the Wedding Suit top looks like this, made from Jalie 2794, the sweetheart top, with a stretch lace and a rayon jersey knit underneath.  Right now, it needs hemming, too. 


Tomorrow I'll get these tops hemmed!

Parting Shot:  Center.  Wellie just has to be in the center of it all.  This afternoon I found him sitting amongst all the pattern pieces and stuff on my table and just watching everything going on in the workroom.

I had two dogs who liked to be in the middle of any projects in progress on the floor. Luckily they were small, plus they made me chuckle. I love these projects you squeezed in! Wellie makes for a good supervisor, huh?

That Jalie pattern is so great, but I think your top is the best I´ve seen so far!

Great top. It should be perfect with your very lovely suit, and the shoes, of course. I love your cat photos.

You have been a busy woman this weekend. Of course you had Wellie to help! LOL. The Jalie top looks great. The top for DD will be so pretty on her. Great sewing as usual.
