I coverstitched the the hems and used my new edge foot for topstitching the front and collar edges. I purchased the edge foot at the expo for my Janome machine, but it fits my Singer machine too. The edge foot worked really well for topstitching, maybe this is finally the answer to my topstitching issues.I'm making a big deal about this simple cotton shirt, but I'm really glad to have something done.
Ooohhh. That shirt is gorgeous! I love animal prints.
ReplyDeleteHow neat! That would look good with a skirt with an asymmetrical hem going in the opposite direction wouldn't it? Good to be back to sewing isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt just takes an easy project to get started again. I can't wait to have time for one of these myself. Seems like all my times goes to everyone else.
ReplyDeleteThe easy projects are the best. You can have something made in no time. It's really cute. Bet it looks good on you. It's great your improving your topstitching. Sometimes I use the zipper foot. Anything to help you sew the straight line :) enjoy your sewing moments!
ReplyDeleteHaving something finished - ahhh... I haven't experienced that in awhile. I like the animal print. Looks like a simple fun top!
ReplyDeleteOh ,that is such a cute shirt. Ilove both the style and the animal print.
ReplyDeleteLove this shirt lady. Glad you had a good time at the expo.....
ReplyDeleteI have just been working and studying for my test to get licensed to sell insurance so haven't got any sewing done and missing it terribly.
O,I think this is so you !!!
ReplyDeleteA finished project is a wonderful thing! Congratulations! It looks great.
ReplyDeleteNow you know this blouse is too hoooottttt. Me and Lisa were talking about the endless possibilities that this pattern could turn into. I think ---- I must ----- have to make this pattern. Matter of fact - let me go get started.
ReplyDeleteYou should make a big deal, it's a very nice shirt.
ReplyDeleteVery nice shirt. Interesting shape. Sometimes the sewing foot does make a big difference in improving a sewing technique.
ReplyDeleteFor me, every finished handmade garment we make is a big deal, no matter how simple it is :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great :)
Your shirt looks great :)
ReplyDeleteThat shirt turned out really nice. I like the fabric you choose. It's good to have someting easy to sew and still end up with boutique chic fashion.
ReplyDeleteFaye, I love it. It's "wild" and pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love instant gratification. I finally used my coverstitch on a blouse I made this week, but wondering if the edge foot would work for my Janome coverstitch.
