It was a weekend of hand sewing....
- working on the sleeves
- catchstitch the batting band to the large lining sized piece
- stitch the outer edge of the wrap... don't do this if you are making it at home. This is what increased my hand sewing, because the front and backs had to be attached to one another by hand.
Assemble your outside pieces, into one big piece, and attach it to your lining. Turn it inside out, and treat it as a quilt. Once you are done embellishing, then cut your armholes out. This will also mean that you'll have to attach your pockets by hand, better that then having to embellish while the pockets are attached.
- cut the armhole in the lining and batting
- Add the pocket
- baste around the armhole
- It looks like a little bed with two pillows
I have a few projects bouncing around in my head, I think it's time to work on an iconic wardrobe. Stay tuned.......
