Have you finally done a thing that you have been putting off for long? Figuring the invisible zipper? Putting sleeves on correctly on first try? Conquered a new fiddly fabric? Created the most perfect fit?

It has been downhill since the stripped dress I'm afraid, but that dress has the most perfectly matching stripes all around and that makes me very proud! (I have also finally brought my machine to the repair shop and it's running much more smoothly, huge improvement)

I made a piece of cloth for over the shoulder and finished with biaisband. It is to catch any throw up from my baby after feeding.

I made pockets at each end to catch throw up from pouring over the edge. It's not really how I intended it to end up. But I will test it and improve it with the next few.

Working with biaisband is new for me. It's time consuming, but gives a nice result!

I hope you found a solution that works for you! I can recommend hemming skirts with bias, I find it a lot easier and faster (maybe it feels faster because I am not struggling, which I would not mind)

I find locking it with my overlock a lot faster and easier. The result looks less finished though. Maybe locking with a nice colour thread could give it a nice touch.

I’ve also seen a biasband foot, made for stitching with biasband on my sewing machine. But maybe I have a tendency to solve problems with machines too much..
