I should have known to check your tute in advance to save me some skipped heartbeats! <br /><br />I'm unsure of this pattern...making it up anyway as true to CC form, I usually am pleasantly surprised after it's finished.

You are right- it is hard to finish the seam after it's sewn when a flat seam is called for. I never thought of doing that. Thanks for the tips, I love them! ♥sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15538364104606258790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451620064759054335.post-66574275407331355802011-07-13T20:16:48.329-07:002011-07-13T20:16:48.329-07:00Patience Justine!!!!

And those deep pleats at the neck -- you think they'll work in wool too?<br /><br />They are nice patterns. I'm back from a week without my sewing machine so I'm ready to try one of those tops now.

Its nearly finished(just hems)and I wish it would fit me!<br />I have tried to pick the trickiest(in my opinion)first and so far it has been very manageable.<br />My little tips are just that,MY suggestions,for a certain fabric.<br />So far I would say they are a good stepping stone from oliver+s.<br /><br />The dress is so lovely Susanne,but I didn't want to blog until I had finished(in case I muffed it) and it would be a HUGE blog!<br />Won't be long......I am so pleased that you are interested!<br /><br />I purchased my pencil from my sewing store,it is a 'Sewline'(I think),Colette has put the details in our forum.<br />By neatening I mean overlock,serge,zigzag what ever is your technique. <br />I did neaten BEFORE sewing the seam as I find it hard to do so after and the pattern called for a flat(open)seam.<br />By clipping it first,the ease is still there,but the seam is neatened.<br />If I made this is wool(which I intend too) I would do the flat seam,but I think you could sew the seams together and press to the side as I explained above.<br />Sorry my explanation was not clearer,it came to me after finishing the dress and I like to follow the pattern exactly the first time.<br /><br />Thanks Girls!<br />x Nmotherof5https://www.blogger.com/profile/10195031588051037622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451620064759054335.post-71161710961432763132011-07-13T10:13:36.702-07:002011-07-13T10:13:36.702-07:00I agree with Susanne- don't leave us hanging! ...I agree with Susanne- don't leave us hanging! Anyhow, where did you get that tailor's pencil. I'm in the midst of a marking crisis (okay not really- just not exactly happy with what I've been using). Also I am not sure what you mean about neatening your seams. Do you serge each edge before you sew the seam?sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15538364104606258790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451620064759054335.post-2942554959314918112011-07-13T08:31:14.940-07:002011-07-13T08:31:14.940-07:00Aw, don't leave us hanging like that, Nicole! ...Aw, don't leave us hanging like that, Nicole!
