Dress progress report

It’s one of those days where I should be sitting in the sofa hand sewing at the moment, but instead there are some serious procrastination going on. At least blogging about sewing feels a little more proactive than some of the other stuff I’ve been doing this evening.

As I mentioned before, machine stitching really needs to be kept to a minimum when hemming this sort of lightweight chiffon. Just two rows of stitches and suddenly it feels like there is a metal wire running through the fabric. Also I skipped the idea to make a rolled hem with the serger since it makes the sleeves too wavy. So now everything will be hemmed with bias strips. The sofa and the needle is calling…
