I realise the latest edition of #weekendSewingClub didn’t get as far as any actual #sewing, so here, for your amusement, is a random picture of an earlier project that I took purely for my own gratification. This is a mitred joint between the hem and front facing of a wrap skirt, since obscured by the lining, so nobody but me will ever see the thing again, but I like to know that it’s neat. #tailoring #maker
The inside, bottom front corner of a wrap skirt. It has a hem and facing each 3.5 cm deep, and neatly finished on the raw edges by close-spaced overlocker stitching. The corner, slightly more obtuse than right angled (maybe 95°) is damned nearly perfectly mitred, so the overlocked edges meet dead on. It’s all very geometrically satisfying. Held in place for stitching with a single pin near the corner.
Some people sew for fancy clothes… me: I get my kicks from geometry manifested.
Fancy clothes are a highly acceptable bonus
