Recently I found some comments that were not published at the time because after 7 days I want to monitor them. If I don't do that I get lots of spam comments. Thank you for all who commented, either published earlier or later!
A few questions came up: Chepmweno asked which pattern I used for the blue/white dress that I wore when I started blogging again. That's a very old pattern, from Burda April 1993! Which was a great issue, I could make a whole summer wardrobe from it. I wondered why I hadn't used patterns from the issue at the time I realised I was pregnant of my daughter then. Later, in the childhood years of my children I didn't sew much for myself and the issue was forgotten. Till about 30 years later ☺
I do include a photo of the line drawing, perhaps it makes it easier to find a similar pattern.
She also asked about Bemberf versus Venezia lining and my answer wasn't posted (I have a few issues with Blogger). Venezia is not the same, but feels lovely on the skin. Bemberg is lovely too, but much harder to get here. Both are anti-static.
That's it for now, I've been working on a few things for my daughter, Will come back on that in another post.
I have a favorite dress pattern similar to your old Burda, but I've always struggled to hem it. I let the dress hang so the bias areas do their thing, but then it's hard for me to figure out how to make the hem level. Do you have a favorite method or tool?
