Then after some thought I realize that normal piping is wrapped around a cord but I used a rayon one and it's all kinda one. I serge finished the edges and then pounded them with the hammer to flatten them. My new favorite method to eliminate bulk. Also since all the piped edges are enclosed, it really wasn't a challenge. But I will take note of the technique in the future. Thanks for reminding me of it!Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-88214618439741413312017-02-28T10:15:33.666-05:002017-02-28T10:15:33.666-05:00Beautiful as always!

The white piping and trim adds a great accent to this top. Well worth the extra work. Did you take the piping cord out of the ends of the piping that extended into the cuff seam, before sewing the seam?
