simplicity

 

Im looking for inspiration to make my dress for Navarh's wedding.

This is an old book ive had for a while and I love it so much. It reminds me of when my mum used to teach me to sew and the older methods that are somewhat lost. I like to browse through its pages. It opens up possibilities of different finishes and hems.

for instance theres

french dressmakers hems

shell hemming

 overhanding

overcasting

back stitching

slip stitch edging

not to mention whipping

So many stitches, so little time.

Im looking forward to trying a couple of new ones when I begin the dress.

Oh! Ive decided on the colour RED.
