curtain progress
Jun. 27th, 2013 08:54 amI'm using 3 panels for the curtain petticoat. Maybe a bit too full for casual wear? But at 52" across, I thought just 2 panels would be too modest.
I've handsewn all the skirt seams. I matched the print carefully and used a running stitch with a single backstitch thrown in every 8-10 stitches. I tried to keep the stitches a scant 1/8".
My matched seam! Can you spot it?
The only problem with using an odd number of skirt panels is that I now have to slash and bind for pocket slits instead of just leaving a seam open at the top. That's my next step!
