I’m using a hot pink jersey material for this and its proving problematic to say the least.
All sections cut out – fine.
Trims stitched together and seam allowances pressed – fine
Wrap parts and ties stitched together, seam allowances pressed and narrow hems done – fine.
Wrap parts attached to the front of the vest with pins – fine
Back of vest sewn on at shoulders and seam allowances pressed – fine.
Neck trim attached – not fine. Even with steam ironing the fabric and stretching it and so far 3 attempts at easing – it doesn’t fit!! Its too small. I had to leave this and take a breather last night and hope that when I go back to it this morning with fresh (cough) eyes all will be fine.
Wish me luck!!!
