Because I know I'm a slow seamstress living in a small house, so I won't bother sewing more undergarments than necessary. :-)Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-9739898245728580782011-02-18T04:18:40.789+01:002011-02-18T04:18:40.789+01:00Beautiful work!

I should be more persistent and do it with everything. ;-)Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-35793064837865853632011-02-10T17:26:18.344+01:002011-02-10T17:26:18.344+01:00Oh my goodness, Hana!

I sewed the majority of those long seams on trains... there's no sewing machine on trains. :-)<br />And also my paradoxical laziness. It's easier to thread a hand-sewing needle!Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-91496601071005515372011-02-10T06:17:21.350+01:002011-02-10T06:17:21.350+01:00I'm very impressed that you sewed it all toget...I'm very impressed that you sewed it all together by hand. I think I would have a hard time lasting that long through a project without wanting to go to my machine-- I've been having a hard enough time with my hand-sewing-heavy black dress that I've been working on for the last month and a half!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09913795373618902575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-73704079591857299052011-02-09T23:43:51.433+01:002011-02-09T23:43:51.433+01:00Thank you.

This: Because it takes a long time anyway, it somehow forces me to be more careful about the inside. While, at the same time, it frees me from fretting over it because, hey, it's handstitched so a bit of messiness is inevitable.<br />I love experimenting with different stitches. This one's a bit of a cross between whip stitch (on the garment side of the seam) and cross/catch stitch (on the bias tape side).Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-29264560783279314522011-02-09T23:27:59.175+01:002011-02-09T23:27:59.175+01:00The hem looks so pretty!
