putting the layers together


Before sewing the layers together I basted a waist tape to the interior layer.


That is a rather narrow ribbon to be using as a waist tape. I have plenty of wider grosgrain, in a few lovely colors, but the only white ribbon happens to be 1 centimeter wide. It's better than nothing. So, I laid the two layers together face-to-face and stitched together along the center back. After pressing the seam allowances open I flipped the whole thing right side out. Here are the layers mid-flip.


Isn't that gorgeous? Does anyone else see a hint of Georgia O'Keefe in that picture?

  1. IMO, a narrow waist tape is still better than no waist tape! That is a fascinating picture of the "midflip".

  3. Have you got Automatic White Balance on your camera, if so could set it for sunlight and it will give you a nice white photo, or you can take the blue out in photo editor really easily. Sorry to be a pain but I have worked in bad lighting in historic houses for too long. Love your blog, and that ditch stitch, so beautifully done. How far through the book are you now?
