I knew it had been a while since I had blogged, but I didn't realize it had been this long!!!
mea culpa
I have, actually, been working on several projects, but none of them are bloggable, yet. One project is a quilt-of-the-month club project, and so, won't be done until next January, or so. Another is a surprise for someone who reads my blog, and I wish it to remain a surprise, so --- no blogging about it. Another project is a skirt that is still mostly in my head . . . . well, you can see how all of this diminished the appearance of my output.
I did, however, finish a shirt for my husband, David.
It's really nothing special - it's a simple men's sport shirt. Not custom tailored, no French cuffs, no real fitting to speak of. It has only 2 features that are at all noteworthy: his initials are monogrammed on the left front pocket (chic, non?); and
the inside features NO RAW EDGES. Okay, I am pretty fond of that last point. It was constructed completely of flat-felled seams, even the armsceye, excepting the hem, which was overcast and double-stitched on my serger. Have I mentioned how much I love my Babylock, lately???
Nice! Do you have a felling foot or did you do it by hand? I'm thinking about getting a felling foot, but can't decide if it's worth it.
ReplyDeleteNo felling foot. I have looked at them, and played with them, but I have been making flat-felled seams a long time, and I like the control.
ReplyDeleteHmm, good point.
