Does anyone have ideas on how to finish the edges without a serger or zigzag? My zigzag tends to ruin the fabric
I really love a French seam, especially on this top. It's such a clean, elegant finish.
I have a very similar pattern to this which has buttons at the front. For me that is better than the side zip. Pretty little top.
Hello Team Gertie, May I ask where you source your scissors? (a.k.a. Andrea's new snips?)
Is there a way to watch this directly on YouTube? I'd like to watch it on my TV and not my computer screen.
Start watching from here for a few seconds. Then it should show up in your YouTube history and you can watch on any device from there.
A woven top for summer was what I asked for on the survey, I'm going to make a bunch of them!
Not sure if you wanted add the link to the understitching video in the video description on youtube or not but I’m sure that would be very helpful for the video searching impaired 🤗
Thank you for the suggestion! We added it in 😘
I love the chapter break down. Super helpful
