After many months of no sewing due to building work, I now have my sewing room, so time to use it!
I'd ordered a few bits of fabric in the last couple of weeks, so thought I'd cut out two of them in my favourite easiest to sew and wear flared top. The back centre seam has a very big flare out over the bum, so I take this in about three inches on the pattern piece usually, but as the green mock cable knit fabric was rather narrow, it meant I had to take it in more, resulting in an almost, but not quite, straight back seam. This one is finished, must take a pic.
I also cut out a blue camo jersey, which isn't finished as the coverstitcher decided to skip stitches. New needles didn't help, so this morning I will swap the threads and see if that's it, although I usually use Moon threads with no problems at all.
Oh, and cutting out was so much easier on my kitchen island unit!
Edit: Spot the
mistake design feature on the khaki cable knit due to not really having enough fabric.
