That's lovely, great pattern matching on the side seams, things like that make such a difference.

what did I make?Skirt for 2 year old GD.
how did I play with stripes?I didn't, but I knew that the stripes would appear horizontal at back & front & diagonal as the fabric draped.
pattern?I folded my fabric into 4 then measured from the centre point, marking at 10cm and again at 41cm. (Radius of waist line and radius to hem). Cut along both curves to give a circle with a hole in the middle.
how did I make it? bought 40mm wide elastic, stitched it into a circle 50cm circumference. Overlocked circular hole in centre of fabric, stitched to elastic using 3step zigzag. Ran a gathering stitch around the hem about 5mm from edge, pulled up enough to avoid creases. Pressed then 2 needle coverlock. [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

What @annieeg said. We have similar tastes. I like your bias edging in the sleeves, that makes all the difference to the design.

Overlockers & Coverstitchers / Re: Okaaayyy... maybe I need an overlocker...

I've chopped the point off a few pins with mine & it's still fine. Ive probably jinxed it now. I do try to remove pins in time.

Welcome. We like photos on here, but maybe not with you in your new undies! I've not tried making bras, it looks so complicated and anyway I'm a fairly standard size but I imagine with a small band size and/or large cup size it would be a handy skill to develop.

Thanks @Ellabella and @Lilian. I hadn't thought about the possibility of using it for leather. I'll try it next time I trace. The handle feels lovely, smooth and much nicer than my plastic tracing wheel. @Ellabella the cutter has a blade and the guard works smoothly, again much easier than my new cutter. Think the blade may need replacing! I like the knurled brass centre.
