I just might have to give that a try. Thank-you so much for stopping by! Hope to see you back again. And, give sewing another try :) Epic fails sure can be discouraging, but when it does turn out right... hot damn!Montanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16193952187633549546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560906277315250073.post-20220130352225585902011-11-20T09:15:49.827-08:002011-11-20T09:15:49.827-08:00I think it's wonderful that you are making the...I think it's wonderful that you are making the outfit in honour of your grandmother, I'm sure it would have made her very happy.<br />I don't sew much myself (used to but recent projects have been huge fails) but I think the reason why a skirt/dress lining is not attached to the skirt at the hem is that whenever you move around it would pull at the skirt fabric.<br />I seem to remember that you can attach the bottom of the side seams (or maybe an inch or so higher?) to the skirt side seam but not by stitching it directly together but attaching a short length of thread. You may be able to see that in commercially made skirts. I think you can use your sewing thread and just crochet up a couple of inches, then you can sew in this triple strength thread.<br />I hope this makes sense.Gisellehttp://craftybeadedknitter.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560906277315250073.post-73080671828296403792011-11-20T00:53:03.962-08:002011-11-20T00:53:03.962-08:00Thanks mom :) I wish I could have learned more fr...Thanks mom :) I wish I could have learned more from her too.Montanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16193952187633549546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560906277315250073.post-58720277944043680522011-11-19T06:31:44.523-08:002011-11-19T06:31:44.523-08:00So sweet of you to do something like this skirt in...So sweet of you to do something like this skirt in memory of grandma. I sure wish that she could have spent some "quality time" with you sharing her extensive knowledge of tailoring with you. She would have been in 7th heaven and you would have learned SO much from her!<br />I am SO proud of you and you are making some beautiful creations! Can't wait to see what surprises are in store for us in the years to come!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680464866028774367noreply@blogger.com
