Another Lesson

Still learning. This week’s lesson, make sure all the pattern pieces are on the right side when cutting your fabric, or the fabric on the wrong side for all of it. Unfortunately I didn’t have enough scrap fabric left over to correct the mistake, so I forged ahead anyway, figuring maybe I’ll start my own trend. An Ary’sMom original (or not):

       So I'm liking the way it looks, juxtaposed like that, but looking at it "from a distance" I'm questioning the "right side" piping I guess that's called. I thought it might highlight the faded pattern and create a sort of "panel" effect, but it's just looking messy to me.

This is my first attempt after the whole boob pocket jacket fiasco. On a side note, the Janome sews like a dream. I’ve never owned or sewed on something that fancy, the fact the sewing speed can be controlled by a switch and not the cramp inducing foot pedal is wonderful. I’m so grateful to have won it. I’m just waiting for it to impart some of Mimi G’s expertise and skill on me…. it could happen.

Thanks for tuning in, come again
