I've been working on a summery jumper, but do things ever go smoothly and quickly on to their conclusions? Because I decided to flat line the whole thing, it has taken a little longer, and today I made bias binding because the store-bought one was too narrow and I'm sure I could have guessed that but put it on anyway and then had to rip it off.
Well, that's okay. Why I balked at making the binding, I don't know. I've made binding before, and it isn't hard. And it's of the same stuff as the jumper skirt fabric, so should look very nice. The bodice is from my summer curtain fabric (a sheet, of which I have plenty left).
Let's hope it fits when the time comes.
Looks very pretty thus far Lisa. I'm interested to see the finished garment. In Australia a jumper is a what you would call a sweater.
ReplyDeleteYou know, as I typed the word "jumper" I did think of that. It's a funny difference.
DeleteI like your choice of fabric for the bias, it really sets off the sheet fabric (which I use a lot of too).
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm hoping, as the skirt part of the jumper is the gingham. Thanks!
