Or even maybe do a top stitch in the ditch under the edge of the binding so it won't show. Anyway, I'm with Vicki... it will look great! You always put great talent into your work!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744073613012413496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-49708901009425274102008-11-10T21:53:00.000-05:002008-11-10T21:53:00.000-05:00I love this!

It's wearable, but it just isn't quite as nice as I had hoped. I blame my inexperience as a sewer (I've only been sewing for a few months and this is only my third jacket). Still, it's a disappointment nevertheless. Believe it or not, hearing that an experienced sewer like you occasionally has projects that just don't turn out quite as well as you had hoped gives me some encouragement to keep trying! The dress is lovely, and perhaps you can try again with some different fabric and your results on the second attempt will be closer to the final product you were hoping for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-72269054115417553832008-11-10T18:27:00.000-05:002008-11-10T18:27:00.000-05:00I like the dress so far.

The rest of it will be machine sewn so that small amount of handstitching shouldn't put you off....Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529416439720810403noreply@blogger.com
