Baby steps back to new clothing

I got the two front seams done tonight, and I'm trying to decide if I overlock them together, press to one side and then topstitch, or if I overlock them individually and then press open.


I wish I knew why this is photographing lighter than it is, but it's not important really. Getting it sewn & in rotation is.

Edited to add: no wonder I'm dithering on that decision. I just looked at my stash/usage spreadsheets and the last time I made a skirt that WASN'T a costume was in the first half of 2007.  Cos the skirt I half cut out January 2012 didn't actually get finished. Though now I've replaced the pattern I can get onto that.  Sheesh, no wonder my clothing is wearing out and I need a new real life clothing sewing habit.

I'm not going to throw myself into a frenzy of sewing, but get back to sewing 15-30 minutes a day. Getting something done every day is a habit I want to have again.

    1. That's the plan :) And each day I'm twitching to do something, so I do a little bit & am content.

  2. Hi Ista, couldn't find a contact link so thought I'd try you here. There is a gluten free high tea at the Raddison Blu Sydney now, I went recently and will be reviewing it on the blog soon. It was pretty good, and they have already followed some of my suggestions to make it better. And there are a couple off nice place here in Canberra that I will be trying over the next couple of months. If you head down this way, give me a line and we could try one together if you like :)

    1. OOh, thank you for the recommendation. I'm going to rustle up a high tea companion and enjoy it as a belated birthday treat.

      I'd love to meet up for a high tea, or even afternoon tea. One of my close friends has moved to Canberra & now I've had my op I can travel down to see them.

      I'd better check how I'm set up with contact info
