Hem
Check out that hem - nice and smooth - no wrinkles or bubbles! This is the fabric that has given me so much grief and it's been tamed with a whole lot of knit interfacing. I had planned on using my coverstitch to finish this off, but was afraid that I would have a mess on my hands, wack off several inches, and have a project that was 10 inches shorter than what it was meant to be.... so I finished it with a twin needle. I still have a few finishing touches before this sample is complete. I guess it's back to the sewing room then!
What are your plans for the weekend - sewing or otherwise?

Excellent job! That is a beautiful hem. This weekend my daughter and I are making sit-upons for our Girl Scout camping weekend coming up in June.

Very professional looking hem! Stabilizing solves a lot of issues. No sewing for me this weekend. We had our little grandsons, ages 2 and 10 months overnight. Church and out to brunch tomorrow, followed by doing some errands. That's ok--I'm so in love with those little boys and spending time with them is the absolute best!

Hi Stacy,
This looks amazing, very neat. I can't wait to see it. I am baking a banana cake and then hoping to finish off some applique for a store bought overall suit for Ethan. I am trying out a hand understitched applique for a different look. So instead of machine stitching you turn over SA and then slip stitch all over. That is all I have planned for today!

Wow, that looks really nice. I'm going to try the interfacing. We just bought my daughter a sewing machine and she wants to make a t-shirt, so we'll practice on her machine. Thanks!
