| chain stitch to join the ruffle to the top tier |
Sewed one button hole on the shirt! The second one. 6 more to go.
I started sewing the 1st ruffle of the petticoat. First I struggled with normal thread and backstitch. I made a gauge, but with so much tulle, it was more of a nuisance. So I decided, as long as the stitching must be visible, to use thicker embroidery thread and a chain stitch. The thread was inherited, so it has yellowed. Once I got the hang of it, I'm using the basting as a reference, it went fairly quickly. I did about 1/4th of the ruffle.
+ The final effect is pretty, and the thread can be washed.
- It's still a nuisance to sew tulle, but at least i can see the thread and the needle (I'm using a thicker needle than usual).
THE CUNNING PLAN
Keep sewing the petticoat's ruffle, but also go back to the jacket, to join the skirt to the bodice.
