My MoB outfit is cut out. I was going to do the top first. I had planned on using silk organza as interfacing. Fusi-knit fusible tricot interfacing would have been my first choice but I can't use a fusible interfacing because it would involve steaming and this fabric has not been pre-shrunk because pre-washing would have faded it according to the nice lady at Thai Silks. I basted the organza into the front pieces of the jacket and could tell right away that it would not be sufficient as interfacing. This means a trip to Jo-Ann's (horrors!) for some lightweight sew-in interfacing. It also meant I could not proceed with the top, so I started on the skirt. The skirt is basted together. I tried it on and.....it looks great! Yay!
Cozy purple throws for snuggling! Adds some color to the living room. Thick fleece trimmed straight with rounded corners. I tried some overcast stitches with my Juki however I couldn't get the look I wanted so I pulled out my serger. Gosh it's been, like 2 years since I used it but luckily it worked (I've had it for quite awhile but I'm still kinda afraid of it 😜).
