This is rather complicated - I wish you had chosen different colours for the outer and lining, and material that showed right and wrong side! I am somewhat confused.
I notice that the Direction of Greatest Stretch on the pattern pieces that I just taped together go vertically and the one in the video goes horizontally. In the FB group, people have been mentioning that the sleeves are too tight and I am wondering if this is the reason why...
Finally on to sewing something ... in the pattern instructions, the tie is cut 4 times as is, but I guess it should be 2 times mirrored? Glad I used fabric where you can't really see which side is the right side and which is the wrong :)
Ooops! Good catch! The instructions have been updated with new cutting layouts.
Love it! And this time I managed to sew it within the month. The only change I made is that I basically used the serger for all the project!
Wahoo, its fabulous
Poor Andrea couldn't catch a break this video, with the dull scissors and accidentally sewing over the pin. 🤣 There's always next month, thank you for sewing Andrea!
She just told me she used the dull scissors in next month's video so they're going to become a recurring feature! We gotta get those sharpened ;)
Any reason to not use the tie opening to pull the hem out and sew between the darts to get a clean finish across the hem, push it back through before sewing up the tie openings?
No harm in trying! Let us know if it works :)
This is cute and doesn’t sound to be too difficult though I wish the lining was a different fabric here in the tutorial. It will probably be less confusing when in the process of sewing.
Yeah I glanced at the video for one part I needed clarification on and it was super hard to see what was going on.
Thank you, Andrea, for sewing for us!
