| Here is the lovely button that I can't figure out how to add to the side of my blog! |
I haven't had much time to sew for myself since November, I don't think that is going to change for a while. DD1 needs a new dance costume, DD2 wants a new skirt and dress for her birthday. So that's me, very, very busy till Spring. I'd also like to get back to some quilting. I can hear die-hard fashion sewers shuddering at the thought!
So, given the constraints, getting my basics in place makes a lot of sense. First on Lori's list is black, slim ponte pants/trousers. I could definitely use some. What about you? I've already ordered my ponte from Tissu fabrics. I think I'll use this month's Burda's slim jersey trousers for my pattern.

I am sorry I don't know how to put this button no the side of my blog and then link it to Lori's blog. If you want to check out this sew along, go to Girls in the Garden.
Cheers!
Karin, so happy you are joining us. Can't wait to see your pants, looks like a great pattern.
ReplyDeleteso happy you are sewing along, karin! this will be great for all of us!
ReplyDeleteWardrobe basics...that is a sew along I can love! Off to check it out. Karin, to add the button, go to Design (on the task bar of your blog), then Layout, then Add a gadget. Once there, scroll down until you see HTML/Java script (with description of adds 3rd party functionality...) That is where the code goes.
ReplyDeleteHTH Mary
What a great wardrobe staple. Can't wait to see how they come out.
ReplyDeleteThis looks a lovely pattern... and I'm sure they will be super stylish and very useful. Looking forward to seeing what you create next!
ReplyDeleteThough I have no great need for basics at the moment, or time to sew them), that's a great idea for a sew along. Looking forward to seeing what you make for your girls also.
ReplyDeleteHi Karin; regarding topstitching around the neckline of a stretch knit; I think that avoiding stretching the edge as you sew is key to keeping it flat. If it turns out justl a tiny bit loose you can tame it into submission during the pressing stage. A strip of tissue paper pinned underneath the seam before you start sewing can help the fabric to glide through the machine without stretching too. Then you rip the tissue paper off the back after stitching.
