I don't know if it came this way, or if it met with an unfortunate Beanie (my daughter's nickname) accident, but it was missing a big chunk out of the side seam. I tried 2 runs at it with my trusty old Singer. But it absolutely refused to cooperate. It wouldn't stitch at all. Just left a long loose thread in its wake. You can see that I finally got a pretty decent seam.
How? I had to trick the sewing machine. I placed a scrap of woven fabric down underneath, next to the feed dogs. I probably should've used a black piece of scrap fabric, but this was the first thing I grabbed.
Good enough for government work. No one should be looking at the inside of her shirt, anyway. And here's today's addition to the fabric stash.
Almost 7 yards of the blue floral and 4 yards of that gorgeous Chrysanthemum print. These might have to become Hippi Chic shirts.
And these also joined the fabric drawer. I guess I needed more semi solids.
