bi-monthly stays?

[robinsnest]

umm okay I'm no koshka_the_cat but the stay off with jennylafleur continues! She may have me beaten in form, fit and function, but I am giving her a SERIOUS run for her money in the tackiness department.

Plus side if I wander off and get lost somewhere on her patio I'll be easy to find if I'm in my underwear...

The binding is sewn on the front side only, I have to do the whip down on the inside. Then add the straps on the back pieces and bind the tops. Oh and this fabric frayed so HORRIBLY in the amount of time it took me to get to binding them they're a weeeeeeee bit crooked now...oops? We'll call it a metaphor for me in life.

They're pretty!

And if you ever make another set, I learned an excellent trick for the fabric not fraying. Only cut the lining layers to size, fold the silk or wool or whatever over, and then bind over that fold. So much better!

that is brilliant! When I make a handsewn pair I will definitely be doing that.

Isn't it?



Here's the back picture. It made so much sense! Binding has to be thick with ravelly edges. Nicole (diary of a mantua maker) suggested it, along with the ultrasuede :)
