No sewing today. I had a class, tho. I signed up for the Artista embroidery class at Dublin Sewing Center. The class had been taught by 2 teachers, Kathy and Lisa. Kathy had to quit teaching, so, fortunately for us, Pat stepped in to replace her. They changed the format of the class. We had [...]

Burda Plus Spring 2004 pegged straight skirt for knit fabrics Burda Plus Spring 2003 pants in stretch fabric I had traced these pants last spring in a size 50 which is now a size too big. However, since they are pants, I decided to go ahead and add the seam allowances and pin fit them [...]

KS 2788: It’s all finished. I’m not happy with it, but that’s because I managed to get the tab on the underside of the waistband. I’m not happy with the sides either, but I think that has to do with the curve from upper hip to thighs. Hopefully if I smooth out the curve, that [...]

Skirt & T-shirt

KS 2788: I decided the skirt wasn’t too small in the waist. The waistband is pinned. The instructions say to topstitch near seam and top of waistband.

KS 2788: I finally got around to putting the waistband on my skirt, and it’s too small. Also, I put it on backwards, so that the tab is under instead of over. That’s not a big deal. Unfortunately, I trimmed my waistband where it meets the zipper, so if I want the back seam to [...]
