Do you mean 1/2 inch tape?   

I was perusing labels on Ghani & Guthrie the other day..... didn't buy any, honest   

A lot of them are quite 'mumsy' 

I'm beginning to think I'll never buy another pattern again, I like the ones I've got 

Welcome @Mrsdawes20 can't wait to see what you 'knock up' 

@BrendaP my first thought on looking at those photo's was, "how unusual for a woman at that time to have those tattoo's" 

Snoozi Soozi's second entry

These are the Kathryn Brenne V9114 pattern, another old favourite, the comfiest pair of trews pattern I have.

Once again, it was the duvet cover purchased in the charity shop, so I'm v chuffed to have made a complete outfit for a little over £6.

I did need to shorten the crotch seam but apart from that, no other changes. They're a good length and a good fit all-round. There isn't much gathering on the waist so very little bulk.

In future, binding the edge will be one method I'll use.

That's if I remember before stitching it in 

This happens every time I turn over a collar or a waistband but for some unknown to me reason I have such a short memory that I go blindly into it on each garment.

I'm making a shirt with a grand-dad collar, so requires stitching two identical collar pieces together, pressing a fold on the outer edge of the outer collar, stitching the inner collar onto the shirt and turning over to the right side.

So, now I have to stitch in the ditch on the outside and hope to God and all that is holy that the pressed edge is sufficient to cover the raw edges. It isn't. It never is 

Who can give me a top tip on overcoming this as, like I said, it happens every time....

I have a couple of ideas but these involve starting from scratch and cutting out new pieces. Hoping to avoid that
