My brain is scrambled. I'm adjusting to finally completing the training program for my new(ish) job, trying to finish my polka dot wedding guest dress (never hemmed a circle skirt before) by Friday, contemplating some recent birthday gifts and the seamless pledge, doing a little last-minute planning for an upcoming trip, drooling over my sewing swap goodies that just arrived in the mail, and trying to keep you all in the loop. More soon!
hemming a circle skirt is, umm, interesting. i completed one recently (altho haven't blogged it yet - my poor blog is feeling neglected!). my extremely kind MIL spent ages pinning and repinning and i still think when i finished it's not the same all the way around!
ReplyDeleteI'm half afraid mine will be uneven once I finally complete it, but the other half of me figures I'll be too busy twirling for anyone to notice. :)
DeleteGosh, I hope your week goes smoothly! Good luck finishing up your dress!
ReplyDeleteThanks - I think I'll be needing that luck! :-/
DeleteOMG hemming a circle skirt was tricky for me!! the hem was all lumpy :(
ReplyDeleteHow r u going to do it? I ended up using bias binding, it helped
Yikes, that's what I'm afraid of :(
DeleteI might try bias binding...we'll see!
What is that anchor/striped awesomeness? I can't wait to see it! :)
ReplyDeleteAll will be revealed soon! :)
DeleteI'm making my first circle skirt too. I'm planning to use single fold bias tape for the hem (called "faced hem" on this page: http://craftzine.com/101/sewing101_hems/). It seems like the easiest way from what I've seen. I'll probably press the bias tape into a curve first too. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how I'll get it even though. Not sure my husband is that patient! I need a stand for my dress form..
Good luck with all your projects :)
Ooh, good idea. I'll check that out! Thanks :)
