Finishing the pockets of this onesie took longer than I had anticipated. Not having a coverlock machine, I used a decorative stitch on my sewing machine. But my machine didn’t quite like that, and when my fabric got stuck, it left a small hole. Fortunately I could repair it, so the hole is no longer visible. Phew.
So most of day 3 went into finishing (and repairing) the pockets. Day 4 I spent finishing the edges. I made a mistake there as well: I stitched the edges through, instead of using twin needles. Not smart, since you need twin needles to keep the elasticity. I guess I’ll never forget again!
Day 5 (today that is) I spent on the finishing touches. And fitting. It’s a bit big still, but with this hot weather, big armholes are a plus: more draft!
Next: project 2 for this kids clothes week. I’m still not sure what I’ll pick: linnen shorts, or a jersey t-shirt.
