(I've just posted about fusetape on my blog!)Sheryllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17460472835794108787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-40604755500515698792010-03-22T05:20:28.178-07:002010-03-22T05:20:28.178-07:00Now that is stylish.

Plus you're right - no one ever notices these things. I like the black binding on the hem - it adds a nice finishing touch to the skirt.

But the way I used to put the zippers on was to hand baste the seam together, press open. Pin and hand baste both sides of the zipper. Carefully cut the seam basting open. Now you can push the zipper pull out of the way when stitching the zipper. A bit fiddly when trying to do this with the machine needle in the down posititon so you won't lose your neat line of stitching. It actually sounds more complicated than it is.<br />Nice job on the skirt...I like the colour.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369349823565367244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-79141165714296979812010-03-20T02:49:50.128-07:002010-03-20T02:49:50.128-07:00Hello.

Saves a lot of time and makes for better results. You are learning really fast, I know it took me a lot longer to get the results that you are already getting. Keep up thegood work and have a great day.<br />JennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-87017521549739620812010-03-19T09:42:25.158-07:002010-03-19T09:42:25.158-07:00Love the fabric and the skirt.
