It's wonderful and I'm thrilled that you were able to get a top out of the leftover fabric. The colour is great on you, you look fab! Will have a rummage to see if there's any more of that fabric hanging around, in case you still want to make a Mad Men style bow! xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618367450900385828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760979403532525064.post-17619790325721487612012-07-07T07:52:21.785-07:002012-07-07T07:52:21.785-07:00Thanks Camilla! This really is a great pattern. I ...Thanks Camilla! This really is a great pattern. I used a straight stitch to sew the seams and then finished them all with a zig-zag stitch as I don't have an overlocker. However, as Roobeedoo suggested about, I am going to check out my stitch options and see if there is anything more suitable! Good luck :)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332668769206406249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760979403532525064.post-19809682955801042782012-07-07T07:50:27.825-07:002012-07-07T07:50:27.825-07:00Thank you!

It's not a good thing :(<br />Thats for the tips - I have shamefully only ever used 2 stitches on my machine, I really should find out what else it can do! I will certainly check if i have any faux-overlocker options. And I agree with you about a good brooch - they can hide a multitude of mishaps!!!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332668769206406249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760979403532525064.post-83413502985853156022012-07-07T07:46:52.572-07:002012-07-07T07:46:52.572-07:00Thank you!

I did a sewing class a few years back where some people were using jersey and have seen first hand how this can fabric severely test your sanity.

There might be something approaching an overlock stitch if you fiddle - then you only have to sew each seam once.<br />And I definitely recommend having a range of interesting brooches to cover up quirky neck-seam issues! At least it is not right up on the shoulder where a brooch would look less "planned"!<br />I love this pattern and have plans to make a lot more of them :)<br />Oh... and love your herb garden too! ;)Roobeedoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395340950409421904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760979403532525064.post-65069635093098357152012-07-03T01:36:48.700-07:002012-07-03T01:36:48.700-07:00Your top looks great!
