I finally caught Judy when she came in from work. You'll have to excuse her hair. She's a cheerleading / gymnastics coach and she had been spotting girls on tumbling so her hair was crazy. But she was a good sport and let me take some quick pics. I couldn't decide what method to use on the hem. I tried the coverstitch machine but it made it stretch out pretty bad. Tried binding it with the green ribbing and while it looked okay didn't really want the green on the bottom. Tried using a self fabric band at a 1:1 ratio but didn't like that either. Tried just a zig zag and it looked the best. It still stretched a little but when I wash it and dry it I'm sure it will be fine. She loves it.
Something you can try on the hem is to stabilize that area. I like knit fusible interfacing, cut the width of the hem. Some people like Steam A Seam for knit hems. Cute dress.
ReplyDeleteGet thee to a nunnery! Seriously she looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCute dress - looks so good on her. I would suggest fusible interfacing on the hem also. I cut mine 1/4" wider than the hem.
